Williamsburg Inn Review

One of the nation's most distinguished hotels, this rambling white-brick Regency-style inn has played host to U.S. presidents and heads of state including Queen Elizabeth II (both in 1957 for Jamestown's 350th anniversary and in 2007 for the 400th). This is also a great golf resort, with three top-flight courses to play, including the noted Golden Horseshoe. With giant floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the renowned Golden Horseshoe golf course, the Regency Dining Room features classic American cuisine (coats and ties are still required after 6pm). The champagne Sunday brunch is worth a go (reservations are required). All of the spacious accommodations are exquisitely furnished with reproductions, books, and photos. Rooms in a modern building called Providence Hall, adjacent to the inn, are furnished in a contemporary blend of 18th-century and Oriental styles, with balconies or patios overlooking tennis courts and a beautiful wooded area. The inn's fitness center is in Colonial Williamsburg's full-service spa, between here and the Williamsburg Lodge.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; concierge; 3 golf courses; health club; Jacuzzi; pool; room service; sauna; spa; tennis courts

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
