2. The Clifton: a quaint boutique hotel on the outskirts of Charlottesville
One of a handful of boutique hotels in Charlottesville, The Clifton once served as a colonial estate before it was converted into a semi-secluded getaway. The hotel and its grounds still maintain much of their original charm, but the interior spaces have all been updated to provide a sophisticated yet cozy feel.
Here you can choose between individually designed guestrooms at the Manor House, quaint cottages, suites at the Livery Stables or the Collina Farmhouse, which has five bedrooms and a full slate of home amenities.
The Clifton also hosts a tea-room-style restaurant, a chic cocktail lounge and a private, chef-led dining experience that can be booked upon request.
3. Keswick Hall: a luxurious hotel just outside of Charlottesville

Keswick Hall offers a similar setting as The Clifton, but on a much grander scale. In addition to several dozen handsome rooms and suites, there’s a golf course, a spa, tennis courts and a fitness center, among other amenities — all of which either recently opened or underwent significant renovations.
Whereas The Clifton offers an intimate escape for travelers, Keswick Hall is more of a luxury resort that caters to guests who want to leave behind the confines of urban life for a while to unwind amidst rural Virginia’s natural beauty. The latter is also further from Charlottesville, making it more of a self-contained destination than the former, which is about five to 10 minutes closer to the city.
Fora Perks at Keswick Hall:
$100 hotel / resort credit.
Breakfast daily.
Upgrade & extended check-in/out whenever available.
