The Dean

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. 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 Providence’s esteemed restaurant north, a street-level space offering communally shared items across a variety of seasonal fare.
