The Dean Hotel

Located in the heart of historic downtown Providence, The Dean is a 52­‐room hotel housed in an early 20th century brick building that has been thoughtfully restored by Brooklyn­‐based owner and designer ASH NYC. This picturesque 5-­story hotel sits in the center of a vibrant culinary and cultural scene, and is located just a few blocks from Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design. The property features unique interiors that give a fresh take on comfort and simplicity, while retaining many of the building’s handsome original features, including its mosaic tile flooring and brick façade.

ASH gave the hotel a timeless look that marries old and new, blending custom-­designed furniture and fixtures with fine European and American antiques, sourced from dealers and homes around the globe. Few of the 52 rooms or suites are alike – all include vintage pieces and artwork, custom-­designed fixtures, local handcrafted furniture, and custom­‐blended soaps and linens.

There are several food and beverage venues at The Dean, including Bolt Coffee Company, a local coffee bar located in the hotel’s lobby; The Boombox, a private karaoke bar; hotel bar The Magdalenae Room at The Dean, and Faust's Hofbrauhaus, a street­‐level beer garden and restaurant housed in a portion of the hotel that was formerly a gentlemen’s club. Situated centrally on Fountain Street in downtown Providence, the hotel is surrounded by many of the city’s best galleries, boutiques, bars, restaurants and universities.
