What it’s good at
Notable
Dating to 1913, featuring a grand barrel-vaulted lobby illuminated by curved skylights.
Listed
Restored plasterwork, classical colonnades, and tailored furnishings fill the grand public rooms.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Monument Terrace rises two blocks away. Down the hill, paved trails follow the banks of the James River.
The rooms
Tailored rooms take a quiet, modern approach with Gilchrist & Soames bath amenities, leaving the historic drama downstairs.
The gym
Treadmills and free weights line the fitness center, which stays open 24 hours a day.
At the table
William & Henry serves prime steaks downstairs. Skyline opens glass garage doors onto a rooftop terrace with fire pits.
How it began
Philadelphia architect Verus T. Ritter designed the 1913 building, detailing the classical column capitals with the letter V.
