Catering and Events Manager

A Collection Unlike Any Other

The Ocean House Collection includes three luxury properties on the Rhode Island shoreline.

Ocean House is the Collection’s Forbes Five-Star flagship, offering 49 guest rooms, 20 signature suites, and 13 private villa vacation homes. Amenities include a 12,000-square-foot Ocean & Harvest Spa, over 10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, and up to 8 unique dining venues in peak season.

Weekapaug Inn delivers a relaxed but luxurious New England experience. With 29 guest rooms and 4 signature suites, the inn’s dining celebrates seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, enhanced by bespoke resort activities and naturalist-led excursions.

Watch Hill Inn, founded in 1845, combines historical charm with cutting-edge technology across 21 suite-style accommodations. Guests enjoy access to the full range of amenities, dining, and experiences at both Ocean House and Weekapaug Inn.
