Williamsburg Inn

The Williamsburg Inn is a hotel with Colonial Revival design located in Virginia's historical district. The brick structure features three stories with a two-story columned portico and symmetrical wings extending from each side.

The inn was established in 1937 to preserve and display the colonial architecture of Virginia. This project was part of a broader initiative that brought together wealthy individuals and historians to keep the region's past alive.

The hotel displays period furnishings and decorative pieces that reflect how wealthy colonists once lived, offering visitors a glimpse into domestic life of that era. You can see these styles throughout the common spaces as you walk through the building.

The hotel sits directly beside Colonial Williamsburg's historical district and provides easy access to the sites and exhibits. Modern conveniences and rooms make it comfortable for guests who want to stay while exploring the area.

British Queen Elizabeth II stayed here during her visits to mark major anniversaries of the Jamestown settlement. These royal visits highlighted how significant the location is to English-speaking history and heritage.
