Ask for a room overlooking the State House, across Francis Street, and dine in the swank on-site Mediterranean restaurant, Temple Downtown.
Condé Nast Traveler
"Unfinished and abandoned for nearly 80 years, the city’s 1929 Masonic temple is now the best thing to happen to Providence’s lackluster hotel scene, thanks to a $100 million renovation." Full review
Star Service
"Thanks to its location, imaginative design, well-rounded facilities and state-of-the-art accommodations, the Renaissance remains the top address downtown." Full review
Rough Guide
"No blasé chain hotel here, the Renaissance is set in a spacious 1929 Masonic Temple that offers stylish rooms with bold, striped colour palettes."
Gayot
"Originally built in 1929 as a Masonic temple, this stylish neoclassical property has been restored to its original beauty, complete with Ionnic columns at the entrance."
Lonely Planet
"Some rooms overlook the State House (through small windows) and are decorated in forceful colors that attempt, with limited success, to evoke Masonic traditions." Full review
Frommer's
"A sleek hotel with spacious rooms and bold colors adding a modern flair to the Doric columns and marble floors...the beds are exceptionally comfortable and the staff well-trained." Full review
