GBVS is taking flight!  Spread your wings and join us at Newport Jazz Age Weekend. Our theme this year is the “Golden Age of Flight” and we will be incorporating aspects of this into our weekend. This page provides information about the overnight lodging. The link above will take you to the registration page.  For updates, watch the GBVS Facebook Page or join our email list by emailing “gbvintagesociety@gmail.com”.

This year’s event will be take place at 3 different Estates owned by Salve Regina: Founders Hall, Ochre Lodge, and Carolyn House. These Gilded Age Mansions have been tastefully converted into student dormitories. They retain much of their historic originality and make for a unique glimpse into life of the time. Friday night’s activities will take place at Ochre Lodge with an included cocktail reception. The estate has a large wrap-around porch and shaded lawn which is perfect for our Lawn Party Picnic. There will be classes, games, and dancing on the porch to the Nouveau Jazz Band! The third estate, Carolyn House, is the smallest and will not be used for any events. If you are a light sleeper, feel free to request this option.

All together, the estates only hold up to 70 guests max, so don’t delay in signing up. This is not only a special way to experience history, but a very affordable stay in Newport!  These may be “dorm rooms”, but Salve Regina is an upscale school and all rooms are hotel quality with comfortable, clean beds. There are linens, pillows, soap, and towels provided. Please bring your own shampoo, hair dryer, and iron. Most of the rooms this year have a private hall bath. These are a (lockable) individual bathroom, you just need to enter the hallway to access it.  Click on the three dorm photos below to see a video with more info.

Below is a breakdown for staying in a single, double, or triple/quad room. Most people will take the double option, but the price is discounted if you can get 3 or 4 friends together for the “triple/quad” option. Much like an ocean cruise, pricing is per person. Similarly, there is a more expensive rate for a single room registration.  This is because one person is taking up the space for two (GBVS also pays an extra fee for single rooms). Free parking is provided at the estate as well as internet access. Feel free to bring as many vintage items as you like to dress up the room. This year’s housing is not ADA compliant as it does not have an elevator, however if you have special needs I can put you on the first floor, so please let me know at booking.

When registering, please fill out who you plan to room with. If you are without a roommate, and don’t mind sharing with someone you don’t know, we can assign you to a double room to get the lower room rate. Send an email and we’ll let you know who we can match you up with. All booking fees are per-person for the 3 day/2 night stay.  The Double Room pricing is $300/pp, Triple/Quad is $250/pp, and Single Rooms are $375/pp.

Check in starts 6pm on Friday night in Ochre Lodge.  Check out is 10am on Sunday morning. There are no meals included with the room fee aside from morning breakfast. However, Saturday night we are hosting a dinner at the Elks Lodge in downtown Newport. Their facility is an 1879 Queen Anne mansion called “Parkgate”. It has quite a nice ballroom and will make a splendid setting for our formal dinner and dancing. You can sign up for this as well on the Overnight Registration page. Please complete all required sections and then we will contact you with payment instructions.

Saturday and Sunday morning include a “continental” breakfast. We will be providing a selection of yogurts, fruit, breads, and snacks. Breakfast is vegetarian, but not vegan, glucose free, etc, so please read the packaging. We will also provide coffee, OJ, milk, and assorted teas. There is a shared refrigerator and full kitchen in each building. You are welcome to bring whatever food you like for the picnics, etc.  You can even cook if you like, but bring all utensils/pans as there are no guarantees to what is there. Alcohol is allowed in the rooms, but please be responsible and use your best judgement.

Overnight registration is for guests 21 years and older. All sales are subject to a 20% cancellation fee up to 1 month before the event.  After that period we can work with you to try to find a replacement guest, but tickets are only 50% refundable. Cancellations within 1 week of the event are non-refundable. You are welcome to organize with another potential guest if you can only stay Friday night and they want your room for Saturday night, just email us. However, only the purchased amount of guests can stay in one room (one person per bed).
