It's not the Sheraton, Hyatt or Gurney's. The hotel on Goat Island has a new name.

NEWPORT — The hotel on Goat Island has a new name and a new manager. 

Davidson Hospitality Group has been tapped by Pebblebrook Hotel Trust to manage the newly renamed Newport Harbor Island Resort under its highly specialized operating vertical, Davidson Resorts, according to a press release sent Wednesday. 

Formerly known as Gurney’s Newport Resort & Marina, the 10-acre property features a hotel with 257 guestrooms, including 18 spacious suites, and 80,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor event space, surrounded by expansive lawns, sweeping water views, a state-of-the-art marina and historic lighthouse.

Together with Pebblebrook, Davidson will oversee the planned renovation, encompassing a complete repositioning, reimagining and rebranding of the property that will transform and elevate the guest experience.
