The Jefferson Hotel is over 100 years old, but it has been kept in excellent conditions over the years. The architecture and stained glass windows are very beautiful to enjoy. The food in the restaurant is excellent and not very expensive given the quality of food and the nice surroundings.

We stayed a few nights in Richmond when we were there on holidays recently. We were lucky enough to be able to be there for the Sunday Brunch - if you can make it there for that alone, I'd recommend you do... The room was very pleasant and the bed comfortable, bathroom was very clean. Overall a very comfortable room.... More

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Jefferson Hotel June 2011. Planning the wedding from out of town, I was expecting several trips back and forth to Richmond (8 hr drive from my current residence). Luckily, the Jefferson was able to make this easy and I pretty much got everything done in just a couple trips all together!... More

We went to a gorgeous wedding at this hotel. The lobbies, ballroooms, and restaurants were all beautiful. The service was top notch! BUT - they need to redo the sleeping rooms. The mattress was VERY soft and would move around like a roller coaster at every turn had a horrible sleep. I was not the only one in my family... More

After attending a wedding in the suburbs, we celebrated our own anniversary at the Jefferson with a package that included the hotel’s, justifiably famous, Sunday champagne brunch. We booked a standard room which, like those in many historic hotels, was small but beautifully appointed. As others have mentioned, the entire staff knows you by name and service was excellent everywhere... More

While the grandeur of the Old South faded years ago, a good bit of ante-bellum charm and sophistication can still be found in the former capital of the confederacy in Richmond, Virginia if you opt to stay at the Jefferson Hotel. There is really nothing else in Virginia to compare with the Jefferson. It is a place that has to... More
