OCEAN HOUSE

Ocean House sits high on the bluffs of Watch Hill, Rhode Island, overlooking a private stretch of beach with sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, Montauk and Block Island.  Inspired by the Victorian architecture prevalent in the great houses of the Watch Hill area, the Ocean House evokes a timeless elegance that captures the residential ambience of the area’s turn of the century summer estates.  As one of only eight Forbes Triple Five Star resorts in the world, this beachfront Relais & Châteaux property features 49 guest rooms and suites and 18 Signature Suites, farm-to-table casual and fine dining, the impeccable 12,000-square-foot OH! Spa and more than 10,000 square feet of event space.    

Our brand character is our unique style, and it relates to every aspect of the guest experience: our product, our processes, our architectural and interior design, our identity, our marketing, and, most importantly, our people. They shape the way we do things, and they are at the center of what differentiates us from our competitors. Whether in the kitchen, dining room or administration, our motivation is creating memorable experiences for one another and for our guests. We ask that our associates take initiative, act with integrity and humility and work together to uphold and build upon our standards.
