Where to Stay in Colonial Williamsburg
Storied Luxury
Slip into refined comfort at the historic🔺 Williamsburg Inn, a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star property designed by John D. Rockefeller Jr. Take in the regency-style decor in the same luxurious setting that once welcomed royalty like Queen Elizabeth II. Wake to a beautifully prepared breakfast in the Terrace or Goodwin Rooms and toast the evening with a cocktail at the Restoration Bar. You’ll be steps away from golf, pickleball and tennis courts, and world-class spa amenities, not to mention the iconic sites, dining, and shopping of Colonial Williamsburg.
A Contemporary Classic
Surround yourself with art and craftsmanship at the🔺Williamsburg Lodge, Autograph Collection, a Marriott property. Admire folk art inspired by the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum and look for the signature lanterns, the Lodge’s symbol of hospitality, as you turn every corner. After exploring, unwind with access to The Spa of Colonial Williamsburg’s fitness center and three refreshing pools.
Tucked Into Nature
Named after William & Mary Tribe's mascot, the Griffin Hotel feels like a nature retreat in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg. Sip your morning coffee listening to birdsong, wander the 3-mile nature trail just steps from your room, and unplug in outdoor common areas surrounded by woodlands and tranquil ponds. Located next to the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor’s Center, the lush Woodlands Hotel & Suites is also a good hub for your adventures. There’s a complimentary continental breakfast daily, along with a pool, splash park, and 18-hole mini golf course.
Historic Lodging
Recognized as a “Best Historic Resort” by Historic Hotels of America, Colonial Houses – Historic Lodging welcomes you to experience the 18th century while enjoying today’s comforts.
