The Jefferson Hotel

This historic gem, opened in 1895, is an important part of Richmond culture. At around $275 per night, this hotel is more for the experience, rather than a last-minute place to stay. But when you do book a stay here, know that it's minutes away from various fine dining restaurants, including Lemaire Restaurant and Tarrant's Café. The Jefferson is a beautiful place to see Richmond. And even though this hotel features beautiful historic details and materials like stained glass and marble, its pet friendly, so your furry friends can join in on the travel experience too. The Jefferson Hotel is located on the other side of the river from the beautiful Swansboro neighborhood. Check out this list of things to do to while you’re there from Hipmunk.com.
