2022 TRAVEL & ACCOMMODATIONS
Contact our wonderful travel partners for an extraordinary place to stay during the Festival!
 This will be an exciting
year for RIIFF since we are celebrating our 40th Anniversary Year and 26th year of the Festival.
We normally tell guests that If you are planning to attend, please
book your rooms early. Use the list below as an indicator of lodging in our state. At this writing, we cannot guarantee special discounts, as hotels are expanding capacity as the COVID rates decline in the state.
Special Discount Rates and packages are normally
available for RIIFF attendees; though all will be sold
on a first-come, first-served basis.
If our staff can be of assistance, please do not hesitate our offices at 401.861.4445 or send us an email. We look forward to welcoming you and hope you enjoy your stay at the Flickers: Rhode Island International Film Festival.

The Dean has passed the test. The fifty-two-room boutique hotel in downtown Providence clinched press from The New York Times and Wallpaper magazine for turning a former brothel into the epitome of chic. The historic 1912 building began as a rescue mission for the Episcopal Diocese, but in the 1960s turned into a transient hotel and strip club called the Civic View Inn and then later evolved into the Sportsman’s Inn gentlemen’s club. The design was overhauled by Brooklyn-based ASH NYC, whose cofounder and CEO Ari S. Heckman grew up in Providence. Inside and outside, Rhode Island connections abound. Local artisans designed end tables and bed frames (including funky bunk beds!) and contributed art and photography, railings were crafted by the Steel Yard and Recycle-a-Bike refurbished five vintage bicycles, available for guest use. Architects include Christine West and Phil Derby of Kite Architects in Providence, and restaurateur Mike Sears helms the new Magdalenae Room cocktail lounge and the German beer garden Faust’s Hofbrauhaus. Rhode Island-based Bolt is brewing beans at its coffee shop, and there’s even a karaoke bar called Boombox where groups can (ironically) rent rooms by the hour. Add board games created by Hasbro and a library from Symposium Books to the mix and the Dean may be cool enough for New York to notice, but it’s Rhode Island all the way.
