Westerly’s Weekapaug Inn, a Relais & Châteaux property, was named to the Travel + Leisure (T+L) directory of 2024 Top 500 Best Hotels in the World. It is the only hotel in Rhode Island with a Forbes Five Star Rating to earn the distinction this year. The list is comprised of the highest scoring hotels from readers’ votes in the T+L World’s Best Awards survey and was featured in the May issue. “We are honored to be included on Travel + Leisure’s Top 500 Best Hotels list, which recognizes Weekapaug Inn as a world-class property in the charming and welcoming beachside town of Westerly, Rhode Island,” said General Manager Daniel Abrashoff. “This wonderful recognition is a tribute to our dedicated team of service professionals who create an authentic coastal New England experience for all guests.” Three other Ocean State hotels were recognized as part of 2024’s 500 Best Hotels in the World: the Brenton Hotel, Hammetts Hotel and The Vanderbilt, Auberge Resorts Collection.
