HOTELIER

PHIL HOSPOD

I’ve fallen in love with Rhode Island. I got married in Bristol and have been spending summers sailing Narragansett Bay, picnicking at Newport Polo matches, building sand castles at 2nd and 3rd beach, and sipping Del’s Lemonade wherever possible. Simply, Rhode Island is magic. And the undisputed gateway to the splendor is Newport, the City by the Sea.

But it is Rhode Islanders themselves who inspire me. I feel really lucky to work with such a creative, scrappy, and genuinely good group of people. They have made the creation of The Wayfinder Hotel fun, engaging, and ultimately very satisfying. I’m excited to share all of our hard work with Newport and our visitors from all over the world.
