Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the small town of Washington, Virginia, The Inn at Little Washington is the only Double Forbes Five Star, Double AAA Five Diamond property in the Washington metro area. The Inn's eighteen bedrooms and suites are sumptuous hideaways created by Joyce Evans, a London stage and set designer, for whom The Inn has become a life's work. Many of the furnishings were purchased in England, numbered and shipped to Virginia to be assembled on site like a giant jigsaw puzzle. The Inn offers a range of accommodations from well-appointed rooms to luxurious, two story suites many with balconies and garden views. The Inn's dining rooms are pure fantasy - a wondrous cocoon of luxury. Rose-colored, silk lampshades float above each table creating a private, romantic world below. Chef/Proprietor Patrick O'Connell's creations arrive as if served by invisible hands, course after course more dazzling than the last. From the award-winning 14,000 bottle wine cellar, which includes the finest offerings from Bordeaux, Burgundy, California and Virginia, the Sommelier plays matchmaker between you, your dinner and the wine. ... more less

“A solid Michelin 2 stars restaurant”

Reviewed May 2, 2013

It is a Michelin 2 stars restaurant located in the middle of nowhere. But worth the drive and worth every penny. Everything is impeccable: food, service, decor, atmosphere. Been there twice and each time is memorable. We didn't stay at the inn, but wish we did so we could pair the wine. It's like a once a lifetime experience. Dine... More

“Everything Else is Second Best”

We returned to the delightful Inn at Little Washington for a dinner and overnught stay this April. Every staff person performs with perfection but without ostentation. We always stay in Julia Child's special suite to magnify the thrill of being at this special place. The Inn is gradually taking over much of the little town with absolute subtlety, and there... More

“What a pleasant surprise”

Reviewed April 24, 2013

This wonderful oasis is a short and scenic drive from the dc metro area but feels like its hours away. Washington, Virginia is a small town full of preserved, antique buildings with awesome views of the Mountains in the background. The service was impeccable and the facilities were clean, modern and comfortable. We stayed in the Norman House with garden... More

We arrived late in the afternoon and terrified that our daughter and grandson had been injured in the wake of the boston bombings. Unable to get through, the staff called my daughter immediately- their concern and caring was so touching and they made us feel so totally at home. Having learned that all was well we savored the best meal... More

“Wonderful (Expensive) Getaway”

We stayed in the Julia Childs room. It was spacious, well-decorated, with a large bathroom. The Inn upstairs has a common area with various cookbooks, a garden where they serve (delicious) afternoon tea with tea sandwiches and pastries--and of course we stayed for their infamous dinner. The food was delicious and I loved every bite. I was brought here I... More

Reviewed March 29, 2013

Long overdue review as we stayed for 1 night in November 2010 (the Tripadvisor review did not give an option to select that far back so please ignore the April 2012 below).
