Providence Place, Providence

Opened in 1999, Rhode Island’s biggest mall was designed as a key piece of a plan to breathe new life into downtown Providence. With over 1.4 million square feet, it’s home to everything from luxury boutiques to well-loved retailers and unique specialty shops. The layout is easy to navigate, the vibe is lively but never overwhelming, and when hunger strikes, the food court has you covered: from grab-and-go eats to full-on sit-down feasts, there’s something for every craving and every schedule.

Initially, not everyone was thrilled about the mall, but thanks to a thoughtful redesign, it now fits more seamlessly into the surrounding area. One standout feature is the Winter Garden, a dazzling four-level glass atrium that lets you soak in panoramic views of the city. Plus, a skybridge connects the complex to the Omni Providence Hotel, making it even more convenient to explore.
