   Surfing Coffee?

Providence started as tribal domain of the Narragansett Indians Providence, which was named for God's guidance and care. Providence has been known as the land of "lively experiment" in days long ago. It seems the people of Providence have not lost that momentum. The people at the Providence Biltmore are proof of this cutting edge superior thinking.” The Grand Dame of Providence" the Providence Biltmore Hotel located in the center of the Capital City, the hotel is in close proximity to all that the city has to offer. The Providence Biltmore Hotel is the preferred destination for the discerning traveler.

When visiting the Hotel you can see why they are able to claim themselves as the “preferred destination” after more than $10 million in renovations over the past three years have restored the hotel to its original glamour for which it is world famous and added the most up-to-date technology and amenities.

With the recent addition of Starbucks, The Providence Biltmore is now offering secure computer access in a joint venture with SurferQuest. SurferQuest is the provider of self contained High-End Dell Kiosk PC's, specially developed to offer guests privacy protected access to all PC and Internet features. Recently Donald Mothersbaugh, VP of sales within SurferQuest stated that he knew the venture would prove to be a tremendous success, although he never could have possibly imagined the usage of the systems would rise so high as rapidly as it has. “ We are all thrilled with the amount of success we are seeing with our systems in The Biltmore’s Starbucks location.”
