Colonial Houses, an official Colonial Williamsburg Hotel

"Colonial Houses at Colonial Williamsburg While the state of Virginia generally has more historic accommodations than you can shake a stick at, few would argue that the Houses of Colonial Williamsburg trumps them all. Guests can truly immerse themselves in an 18th-century environment (with 21st-century conveniences) with a stay in one of the original homes, shops, offices, or kitchen buildings of the Revolutionary City. Two dozen cottage-like buildings vary in size and layout, with period antiques or reproduction furnishings. Tavern rooms are closer to traditional hotel rooms, with private bathrooms and sitting areas and a great room downstairs with a fireplace for gatherings. All rooms and houses have access to the amenities of the Williamsburg Inn and Spa, discounts on Colonial Williamsburg tickets and passes, and preferred reservations for dining, spa appointments, and golf tee times. What guests are really paying for, though, is location and uniqueness of experience rather than luxury."

"Step back in time" at this property "right in the middle of the action" in Williamsburg’s historic area. Overlooking Duke of Gloucester Street, brick walkways, and charming gardens, accommodations in original and reconstructed eighteenth-century buildings come with reproduction period furnishings as well as trundle beds and wood-burning fireplaces; some are tucked under the eaves, enchanting parents and children alike. "We really felt like we were back in the 1700s, except luckily we had all the modern amenities." Dine on regionally inspired contemporary cuisine at the Regency Room, including crabmeat Randolph, or enjoy barbecue specialties like pulled pork sandwiches at Huzzah! BBQ Grille. The staff "are beyond accommodating, and the concierge service is the best of the best."
