You may think you know The Commonwealth, as it has been a landmark hotel in Richmond for over 100 years. And much of what we have been known for—excellent service, spacious suites, and a location that can't be beat—remains. But we have totally reinvented ourselves, and now offer a uniquely Richmond experience. From the tattooed entrance doors on our suites (did you know that RVA is the 5th most tattooed city in America?), to furniture and art hand crafted from some of the area's most talented artisans, to java from Richmond's own Black Hand Coffee Company, The Commonwealth will surprise and delight you at every turn. All guestrooms feature: Handcrafted furnishings and artwork from local Virginia artisans and artists; Beds with Simmons Beautyrest mattresses, luxurious cotton sheeting and your choice of pillow firmness; 50” flat screen TV with HD programming; Complimentary high speed wired & wireless internet; Clock radio with bluetooth music streaming; Refrigerator/freezer & microwave

Nice to be back. Rueger's Restaurant and Bar atmosphere summons me to slow down, take a minute and just be present. The wall of history is a wonderful display that reminds me of entrepreneurial determination. The menus offer classic comforts, as well as some surprises...More

Booked a cozy king, but was upgraded to a suite. It was huge. The living area was fantastic. The room was very comfortable, with a great location right across from the Capitol. There is a fairly cheap pay lot a block down on Main if...More

Thank You so much Queenbee1300! The snow-pocalypse was interesting to say the least. We hope next time you come to town the sun will be shinning and you can explore all that Richmond has to offer.

sally5353,
We look forward to seeing you soon! Our check-in time is 3:00 pm, and check-out time is 12:00 noon.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
There is no free parking for this hotel. I parked on the street (for free) and had to move the car by 08:00. The hotel has valet parking only, under the hotel, for $20 each night.
