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. So many years later after moving back to Florida, I took a vacation and drove back to Newtonville, Massachusetts where I was born to see my old neighborhood and took... More

I enjoyed a mother/daughter stay at The Jefferson recently. The room was very well appointed, especially the bathroom. I loved the Moulton products. A highlight of visiting there was dining in the restaurant Lemaire. The whole experience was wonderful and surprisingly not so expensive for the quality of the food and the surroundings. What a treat!

Charming and old-school this hotel is all things Richmond. We loved our stay during a wedding. The event was flawless and a ton of fun! The hotel rooms could use an update in decor, but this can be ignored by the impeccable service offered by the hotel. We stayed in room 410. It was cozy and bright.

This hotel is very beautiful and has such a history. We were upgraded to a fabulous suite and loved every minute of it. The service is above anything we have ever experienced. The restaurant is top notch also. Felt like a VIP! Thanks to the staff of the Jefferson Hotel.

I enjoyed a wonderful girls weekend at the Jefferson in March 2013. The hotel is beautiful, the staff is generous and the atmosphere is simply divine! Clean room, comfy bed and spacious bathroom-much needed with 3 women getting ready in the morning! The highlight for me was the coffee, yes, THE COFFEE!!!!! We ordered 3 pots- one after dinner and...
