We loved everything about the Jefferson except for one thing. We would have liked a mat in the shower to keep it from being so slippery. But we were very happy to have a walk in shower. The room and bed were very comfortable. The place is really beautiful and the service and food in the restaurant were wonderful. We would definitely return.

**The Jefferson Hotel, Richmond, VA** Opened in 1895, The Jefferson is one of those rare hotels that earns its reputation without breaking a sweat — the soaring rotunda, stained glass skylights, and marble columns make an immediate impression, and the warm, unhurried service keeps it from feeling like a museum piece. Rooms are elegant and genuinely comfortable, Lemaire is one of the better restaurants in the city, and the Rotunda Bar is a perfect excuse to linger. It's not a budget stay, but for a special occasion or simply a night of doing Richmond right, there's nothing else quite like it.
