Star Service "New to Providence's slow-growing boutique-hotel scene, The Dean is a design darling and the only serious competition for the Hotel Providence." Full review

It is almost easier to say what the rooms lack than what they have: There are no minibars or refrigerators, no coffeemakers, safes or iPod docks, and the baths are shower-only models that are tiled floor to ceiling in an effort to avoid having to install shower curtains.
Gayot "A stylish, welcoming blend of throwback style and modern features."
Condé Nast Traveler "With a craft cocktail bar, a karaoke lounge, and a beer garden, The Dean is yet more proof that Providence is no longer a sleepy college town." Full review
Wallpaper "The Dean, in a century-old building that once housed a brothel, was named with a nod to nearby Brown University, and the look is equally smart." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Downtown Providence used to offer little in the way of artsy lodging—for high-minded digs, travelers would stick to ocean-facing suites along the state’s southern coast." Full review
Fodor's "A building that once housed a strip club is now a trendy boutique hotel with a minimalist, masculine vibe and a sexy cocktail den." Full review

"New kid on the block, The Dean epitomizes all that is design in Providence." Full review
Afar Magazine "This 52-room property pays tribute to its historic downtown neighborhood through retro furnishings, locally made art, and antique objects." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"This stylish 52-room hotel first built in 1912 has quite a unique character, which makes sense as it’s been, among other things, a church building and a brothel." Full review
Jetsetter "Boutique Providence trendsetter with a coffee shop, a German beer hall and a karaoke lounge." Full review
