The Jefferson

The vibe at The Jefferson is total glam with a side of history. The doors of the hotel have been open since 1895 and have welcomed celebs and U.S. presidents. It’s hard to pick what the best features of the space are but you’ll probably be wowed from check-in to check-out. There’s the carpeted marble staircase that was rumored to be the inspiration behind the famous scene from "Gone with the Wind" and in-room amenities like a television in the mirror of the bathroom vanity. Room service is conveniently available 24 hours a day and the on-site Lemaire serves Southern-influenced food with a focus on locally sourced ingredients. If you happen to be in the hotel on a Sunday, a reservation for the Sunday Champagne brunch that’s served in the marble lobby is a must.

Hilton Downtown

When a hotel is on the site of a former department store, you know that means some seriously high ceilings. That’s what you’ll get at the Hilton in downtown Richmond. It still has some original features of the Miller & Rhoads store, but with modern pleasures like an indoor pool. The hotel is a short walk from the convention center so it’s great for guests on business and the hotel has indoor and outdoor venue spaces for everything from corporate meetings to weddings. The guest rooms range from a single king or two queen mattresses to more spacious executive suites. Thirst and Fifth’s lobby bar has small bites and co*cktails and if you’re there on select nights, there might even be live entertainment.
