Located a block south of Duke of Gloucester Street, this refined and elegant property is situated on beautifully landscaped grounds abutting the renowned Golden Horseshoe golf course. This ageless beauty, which has hosted presidents and a long list of other notables, is one of Virginia's handful of outstanding hotels.
An ample staff awaits in front of the white-brick colonial-style structure to usher arrivals into the grand lobby decorated with paintings, sparkling chandeliers, flowing golden draperies, and antique and reproduction seating upholstered in rich reds and blues. French doors lead to the terrace overlooking the gardens and golf course.
Espying the links through paned window walls, the Regency Dining Room is refined, with jackets and collared shirts required at dinner (and ties from September through May). Casual dining is in the Terrace Room, and guests also have priority reservations at the historic district's colonial taverns. They also enjoy tea, cocktails and live music in the elegant lounge with intimate seating and cozy fireplaces, and libations in the Restoration Bar.
The numerous sports facilities, shared with its Colonial Williamsburg Foundation-owned siblings, include two more golf courses, a lawn bowling green, croquet lawns, tennis courts and pools. A 20,000-sq-ft, full-service 
spa and fitness center sits between here and the Williamsburg Lodge.
The Williamsburg Lodge is the primary conference venue, but facilities here can host groups of 80, and the business center offers all requisite services. The entire inn has wireless Internet connection.
Averaging a spacious 500 sq ft, the guest units in the inn's main building show exquisite decor in classic, restoration or floral restoration styles. Rooms feature original artwork, handmade silk window treatments, king or queen beds with designer bed linens, TVs, minibars, in-room safes and two phones with dial-up data ports. Opulent marble baths come with soaking tubs, separate showers, dual vanities and fine bath amenities. The inn also manages 43 less luxe units in the Providence Hall Wings that are a short distance from the main building. Room service runs 24 hours a day.
Only two people are allowed to share each room, making this a consummate destination for romantic getaways infused with early American history.
