The best hotel in downtown Providence depends on what you want. The Dean Hotel on Fountain Street is the top boutique pick, with a 1912 building restored in 2014, in-house restaurant and bar, and pet-friendly rooms. Hotel Providence on Mathewson Street offers a more historic European feel. The Omni Providence next to the Convention Center is best for business travel and large events. Graduate Providence in the old Biltmore building has the most character and ties into Brown and RISD culture. For travelers visiting downtown courts or the financial district, Aloft Providence Downtown at 191 Dorrance Street puts you steps from the Garrahy Judicial Complex.
