This hotel was great! The food was always wonderful and the rooms were very welcoming and comfortable. Although we did not get to utilize the full amount of amenities, the exercise room and pool were elegant, but a little small. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone in Richmond.

We had an unexpected trip to Richmond and decided to stay at the Jefferson, it had been years since I had been there. The grounds and lobby of this fine establishment are breathtakingly beautiful. You are greeted by a staff oozing with Southern charm as sweet as the iced tea. I requested a top floor room that allowed a lovely... More

The entrance to this property promises more beauty inside. Stately landscaping and architecture. Once inside the attention to detail is astounding. The rooms had tons of natural light, Italian linens and huge bathrooms with lovely amenities. Never heard any noise from hallway or neighboring rooms. Peaceful and relaxing!

We've always enjoyed a stay at the Jefferson Hotel and this was no exception. The staff is always pleasant and hospitable, the rooms clean, the restaurant delicious. Our only complaint was were a group of 8 and the hotel dining room would not push two tables together so we could sit with everyone for breakfast. This despite the dining room... More

I'll start by saying that I travel alot. And I stay in hotels all over the world. So I was excited about staying at The Jefferson. I had seen it and toured the lobby the last time I was in Richmond. My overall experience last weekend was not that great. First, I had booked the hotel through AMEX's Fine Hotels... More

The Jefferson is legendary, at least to southerners, something of a Waldorf-Astoria of the Confederacy. Its reputation is deserved, the accommodations and service are excellent. The restaurant is also excellent. So if you're into luxury, tradition, servants, pampering -- and you're privileged enough to afford it (or have a client thus privileged), this is the place for you.

The Jefferson Hotel is clean and comfortable with friendly staff in an elegant setting. The beautiful lobby boasts a stained glass domed ceiling, marble columns and carved wood paneling. The guest room in which I stayed was small, but adequate, and tastefully decorated and comfortable. One warning is if you need to add a rollaway to your room, be sure... More

Not always easy to find a 5-Star hotel who welcome dogs, but the Jefferson not only allowed pets, our pups were greeted with the same gracious hospitality as we were. The room was warm and felt the cozy Southern Hospitality that everyone exuded. Room Service was timely and every item correct. The dinner was delicious and price quite reasonable. If... More

For many years while working in Richmond, I had always wanted to spend at least one night here. It is a beautiful piece of architecture. But I lived in Richmond.
