We had a really lovely stay at this beautiful historic hotel. The concierge, front desk team, and restaurant staff were all genuinely warm and helpful. Everyone we dealt with went out of their way to make the stay enjoyable. Dinner in the hotel restaurant was excellent. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our room was wonderful - comfortable, spacious and nicely appointed. The location was great for touring Richmond. There are good restaurants within easy walking distance, and we enjoyed a terrific performance at the Virginia Repertory Theatre which is a few blocks away. The American Civil War Museum is just a brief drive and well worth a visit. The hotel also offers local transportation if you arrange it in advance, which is a handy touch. I highly recommend this hotel and plan to return.

“True Gem”

This place is absolutely gorgeous. My room was quite comfortable and the bathroom was huge. Wish I could have stayed longer.

This historic hotel was built in 1895 by Lewis Ginter, who also developed the wonderful Lewis Ginter Botanical gardens in town. The rotunda in the entryway is stunning, with beautiful stained glass windows. I booked directly with the hotel, which got me free parking in a secure lot right across the street. Our room was lovely and spacious, with high ceilings. There was a little room between the bedroom and the bathroom with a desk and a dressing area. The large bathroom had s full sized tub with a picture window looking out onto the city, a large walk in shower and separate toilet area. Check out the gift shop on the lower level. The lady in the shop can tell you the story of the four alligators who lived in the pond inside the hotel for forty years. Travelers would be going north from Florida with their pet alligators and a few got left at the hotel. The bellhops would find them lounging on the couches in the morning and would shoo them back into the pond. There is also an interesting history of the hotel near the gift shop. Many interesting people have stayed at the hotel. There is a very nice indoor pool, but the water was really cold. A great property with a lot of character.

Our family took a Christmas trip to the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Virginia, known for its beautiful architecture and rich history. Upon arrival, we were amazed by the stunning lobby, with its chandeliers, garlands, and festive decorations. After checking in, we enjoyed a delicious meal in the hotel’s restaurant. We started with a roasted beet salad and wild mushroom risotto, then had the traditional Christmas dinner with juicy turkey, stuffing, and sweet cranberry sauce. In the evening, we learned about the hotel’s history from the staff while admiring the portraits of famous guests. This added depth to our visit. That night, we returned to our cozy room, decorated for the holidays, and enjoyed hot cocoa while watching holiday movies and sharing our favorite moments. The next morning, we had a relaxing breakfast with pastries and coffee. We visited nearby historical sites like the Virginia State Capitol and the Museum of History, adding to our experience of the city’s rich past. Before leaving, we gathered by the grand fireplace, reflecting on our trip. We agreed that this Christmas was special, filled with great food, history, and wonderful family memories. As we left the hotel, we felt grateful for the magic of the holiday season.
