It has all the charm of an old Bed & Breakfast but the luxury of everything being new in the last few years. The library was great for sitting and talking with our friends and the great wine & cheese happy hour was delightful! Fresh pastries and hot casserole with amazing coffee for breakfast makes this a great choice!

Absolutely fantastic space!! Happy hour and shared space was delightful! Gorgeous interior. Spotless and cozy. The owner greeted us and gave us a tour. He also allowed a very early check-in. Our master bedroom was a dream. Beautiful furniture and a stunning bathroom! We will definitely book the space every time we visit Richmond.

My stay was brief, unfortunately, and I had to stay alone due to a business trip, but I will absolutely be returning with my wife so we can enjoy the stay together. Everything exceeded my expectations and the service was top notch and breakfast was amazing. Thank you for a great stay and I can’t wait to return.

My wife and I stayed at The Boulevard Inn for a quick weekend trip and everything about it was top notch. Mitch and Roni are amazing and welcoming, and willing to help in any way. The breakfasts and evening wine/food were so well done. Our room was immaculate. The whole is great. You can walk to the museums, shops, food, etc. Perfect location and place to stay. Book it - you won't be disappointed!

The Boulevard Inn is currently one of the prettiest properties in Richmond. A true boutique stay. The property has been renovated beautifully, each room is unique, plenty of great common spaces. Breakfast was delicious and the owners and staff couldn’t be more attentive and caring. Even meeting other guests at breakfast was a pleasure. Walking distance to so many places to go out on Main street or Cary street, the VMFA and many other museums and activities. I cannot wait to come back!

Never use Expedia to book. I was supposed to stay at the Boulevard Inn for my birthday but could not make it because of a snow storm. The very nice Inn manager told me I could rebook but needed to go through Expedia. Expedia told me that they could not get through to the Inn to get the cancellation approved. Then they told me I had called to cancel too late. Happy Birthday to me--$350 poorer! I will never use Expedia.

The place was absolutely amazing! Beautiful and Welcoming! Jeffrey greeted us, place was adorned with fresh flowers. Provided us with a tour, assisted with luggage and showed us to our room. Gave us restaurant ideas and was willing to assist with reservations if needed. The place was clean and beautiful! The owners greeted us in the morning with fresh coffees, juice, pastries of all kinds and quiches! We could not say enough good things about our one night stay! Just fantastic and Thank you!

Nicely remodeled but small rooms and very, very noisy, located on the corner of 2 busy roads, lots of extremely loud cars, music and shouting from the road until at least 3 am making it very difficult to get any sleep.

Outstanding in every respect. Handsome restoration of 1914 home down to the smallest details. Mitch was a warm, gracious host with many helpful suggestions on places to dine and visit while in Richmond. Wonderful, relaxed but elegant wine and cheese serving, a tasty breakfast of fresh fruit, warm baked goods, terrific coffee and tea options, plus an offering of quiche. Our room was lovely, our bed very comfortable, and our bath and shower options were excellent. Every comfort seemed anticipated and and provided for. One of the best places, large or small, we’ve ever stayed.

Mitchell and Ronni are amazing hosts. They are super personable, their recommendations for the area are on point, and the food they prepped and provided was delicious. Our room, the Maymont, was beautiful and comfortable. The bed was wonderful, and we enjoyed sitting out on the porch after a day of walking. And speaking of walking, Carytown is a mere stone’s throw away, as is the VMFA, so you can easily get your steps in while you enjoy some of what RVA has to offer. Just a great location on top of the great service and facilities. This is also a multi-lingual establishment, with the hosts speaking Spanish and German fluently.
