The Jefferson Hotel

  • February 22, 2003
  • Rated 3 of 5 by carterpage from richmond, Virginia
Built in 1895, this five-star hotel is one of Richmond's most beautiful and historic landmarks. The Palm Court lobby is dazzling. Bartenders at the lobby restaurant/bar, TJ's, pour with a heavy hand and dispense first-hand antecdotes of star guests. For fine dining, visit the five-star LeMaire, named after Thomas Jefferson's chef, who blended French and traditional Virginia cuisine.

Car service takes you anywhere you want to go, from a few miles to nearby attractions like the Shenandoah Valley/Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia Beach, or Washington D.C. A babysitting service lets you dine and dance in nearby Shockoe with no worries.

It's expensive, but worth it. You never know when someone famous is in town filming a movie, but when they are, you're sure to run into them here.

The Jefferson is the leading hotel in the area. It is one of a very few AAA Five Diamond properties. The lobbies of the hotel are grand. The rooms are very nice, the service exceptional.

Richmond’s five-star Jefferson was designed in 1895 by the architects of the Public Library and Frick Museum in New York City. Its beauty takes your breath away. I, along with other locals, often stop in for drinks after work just to relax in this unparalleled environment where the guest books have included nine presidents and scores of celebrities, including Charlie Chaplin and Elvis.

When you walk through the door you'll be taken aback by the 36 steps of the marble grand staircase. They were first ascended by Charles Dana Gibson and the first Gibson Girl, Irene Langhorne Gibson on their wedding day. A pool in the lobby was once home to alligators (and parents sometimes tell unruly that it still is).

Its expensive to stay here but well worth it (and weekend packages are available at discounted prices). The services will actually end up saving you money. These include babysitting from 7am-11pm and free transportation around downtown Richmond to Washington D.C., Monticello, the Blue Ridge Mountains and Virginia Beach..

Be prepared, the rooms aren't as glamorous as the lobby. For some reason they haven't received the same re-modeling attention.
