We had a lovely weekend stay at the Inn, and enjoyed our first trip to this part of Virginia. The welcoming, the gardens, our balcony - well-appointed and relaxing. The staff offers little touches that make the visit special. We ate in the restaurant two nights; one would have been sufficient. We found the restaurant service to be fine, not... More

Our overall experience at The Inn was superb. Let's get with the pro's first. 1. Check in and orientation of property given by Jess, who also served as our head waiter, and Neil, the dining room manager was superb. Nice little touches after driving such as having a wonderful cocktail waiting for us, luggage handling, and just being nice and... More

We can’t thank you enough for the time you spend on this detailed and thoughtful review. With our very rural Virginia location, you are correct, we have very limited cell service, but we are very happy to help with any transference of calls to your guestroom.

From the time we pulled up, til the time my boyfriend and I left this property, we were completely pampered. You walk in, get the grand tour of this amazing house, taking in the detail of the restoration as you enjoy a champagne cocktail.

The best hotel in which we ever stayed, including London, Paris, Rome, Florence, Vancouver, etc. The establishment is elegant and sophisticated. The room (Daniel Trotter room) was spacious and very comfortable. Staff was attentive without being intrusive.

It is a Michelin 2 stars restaurant located in the middle of nowhere. But worth the drive and worth every penny. Everything is impeccable: food, service, decor, atmosphere. Been there twice and each time is memorable. We didn't stay at the inn, but wish we did so we could pair the wine. It's like a once a lifetime experience. Dine... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the small town of Washington, Virginia, The Inn at Little Washington is the only Double Forbes Five Star, Double AAA Five Diamond property in the Washington metro area. The Inn's eighteen bedrooms and suites are sumptuous hideaways created by Joyce Evans, a London stage and set designer, for whom The Inn has become a life's work. Many of the furnishings were purchased in England, numbered and shipped to Virginia to be assembled on site like a giant jigsaw puzzle. The Inn offers a range of accommodations from well-appointed rooms to luxurious, two story suites many with balconies and garden views. The Inn's dining rooms are pure fantasy - a wondrous cocoon of luxury. Rose-colored, silk lampshades float above each table creating a private, romantic world below. Chef/Proprietor Patrick O'Connell's creations arrive as if served by invisible hands, course after course more dazzling than the last. From the award-winning 14,000 bottle wine cellar, which includes the finest offerings from Bordeaux, Burgundy, California and Virginia, the Sommelier plays matchmaker between you, your dinner and the wine. ... more   less
