Westminster Street & Providence Flea

Located right outside our door, Westminster Street is filled with boutiques, shops, and restaurants to explore. A hop, skip, and jump away, you'll find Providence Flea.

While you shop, get schooled on the local art scene: enjoy public art in many forms, from larger-than-life photos highlighting the diversity of the city, and colorful sculptural art and murals, including one exhibit tucked neatly into our lobby.
