The Jefferson Hotel

Lavish historical elegance.

Located in the heart of downtown Richmond, The Jefferson Hotel has welcomed guests since 1895. The hotel’s Beaux-Arts façade hides an elegant lobby with a stained-glass skylight and a grand staircase.

Insider Tip

Alligators lived in the Palm Court lobby of The Jefferson Hotel until 1948, so enjoy whimsical references to these former residents throughout the hotel, from alligator draw pulls in rooms to the alligator statues in the circle drive.
