Atlantic Inn
Set high on a hill on six acres just outside of Old Harbor, the Atlantic Inn is a truly unique and serene location to savor the delights of Block Island. Looking out from our wraparound veranda, guests are treated to sweeping views of the island and ocean beyond, creating a distinctive and tailored seaside island wedding experience or destination.


The Atlantic Inn first opened its doors in 1879 and has continuously served in that capacity in one form or another. Brothers Greg and Doug Faron, who recently purchased the inn, have welcomed in a new generation with a refreshed and reimagined property with nods to its history and vibe. Each of the twenty-one rooms features updated amenities such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, newly renovated private bathrooms and furniture.  


The expansive grounds are dotted with flower beds, paths and ocean views, making it the perfect place for a wedding ceremony and reception. When we host weddings at the Atlantic Inn, the property is yours for the weekend. We close to the public so that you, your friends and family can enjoy this amazing property all to yourselves. 


The Inn’s restaurant 1879 offers a unique and exciting dining experience, which focuses on seasonally fresh and locally sourced ingredients. Along with our culinary team we can host rehearsal dinners, receptions and post-wedding brunches for up to 200 people.


Guests are welcome to come join us to enjoy house made dishes and romantic sunset views.We also offer top-notch on-site event catering for other special occasions to fully enjoy the beauty of our property. 


The Atlantic Inn is an eight-minute walk from the ferries and shops in Old Harbor. In short proximity to the inn, Block Island offers beautiful beaches, historic lighthouses, 200-foot-highbluffs, endless nature trails and great fishing. The 140-year-old Inn is open May through Octoberto take advantage of the mild spring, splendid summer and breathtaking fall. 


“Our daughter was married on Block Island. The reception was at the Atlantic Inn … The food was just wonderful; it was even better than we had imagined. We had the guests stay at the inn for the entire weekend. This allowed the guests to have the entire place to themselves. This made for a wonderful reunion alongside the wedding. We had the rehearsal dinner at the inn (fantastic), the reception Saturday (phenomenal) and a Sunday brunch (delicious). The staff at the Atlantic Inn are all courteous, hardworking, professional and attentive to every detail. It is indeed a special place.” —Heidi G. on TheKnot.com
