The Jefferson Hotel
Virginia's Beaux Arts beauty
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

The Jefferson Hotel welcomed its first guest in 1895 as the Beaux Arts style became popular in the United States. This architecturally magnificent hotel was the dream project of New York-born Lewis Ginter, who made a fortune in his adopted hometown and decided to leave
Richmond with a lasting legacy.
The grand dame is located just steps from Virginia’s state capitol and Richmond’s burgeoning arts district. In celebration of the capital city’s renaissance, The Jefferson’s 2017 refresh extends from its opulent Palm Court to its elegant accommodations.
The Rotunda takes your breath away with its authentic Tiffany glass and soaring ceilings. New and larger luxurious guest rooms provide a residential experience — once settled into posh comfort, it’s hard to leave.
The Jefferson’s quirky history of alligators living in its marble pools inspired Kent Interior Design to position the mascot in surprising places, so keep an eye out for them.
The hotel’s namesake, a marble Thomas Jefferson, looks rather proud as he oversees the gatherings in this majestic Forbes Travel Guide Recommended hotel.
