   “In 1924, the people of Newport recognized a need for a grand hotel,” states Marlen Scalzi, Director of Sales and Marketing. “Fundraising began and shares of common stock sold out in one day.  It is truly the people’s hotel. They thought of it, funded it and built it. It is an accomplishment worth celebrating then and now.”

The Hotel Viking, centrally located on historic Bellevue Avenue, has proudly hosted many famous guests including President and Mrs. John F.
