The property features tennis courts, pickleball courts, outdoor pools (one heated), and an indoor pool. The Spa of Colonial Williamsburg offers body treatments, massages, facials, and a state-of-the-art fitness facility with group exercise classes. Nearby activities include ziplining and ecotours.

Location and Transportation

Located at 136 Francis Street East in Williamsburg's Historic Area. The hotel is 0.5 km from Colonial Williamsburg Capitol Building and Wren Building, 1 km from The College of William and Mary and Governor's Palace. Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport is 30 km away. The property offers free private parking.

Services and Amenities

Services include 24-hour room service, concierge, babysitting, and complimentary wired internet access. The business center provides 9,000 square feet of event space with 48 meeting rooms totaling 67,000 square feet. Dog-friendly rooms accommodate up to 2 dogs. Safety features include carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and security systems. Guests receive complimentary Colonial Williamsburg admission tickets when booking direct.

“The resort's dedication to historical charm, combined with modern luxury, creates a distinctive experience; the multiple dining options and access to Colonial Williamsburg itself are considerable assets. However, reports of inconsistent service at check-out suggest an area for improvement to ensure a uniformly high standard of guest care. In my opinion, its prime location and elegant facilities make it a standout choice, provided service standards are consistently maintained.”
