    From the front desk staff to the room, unmatched service and a truly luxury experience. The staff in the hallway (room staff) were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Valet attendants were quick and professional. Overall, superior! Not to mention the most beautiful historical places we have ever stayed!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    My recommendation would be if you have frather/down allergies, request the down free room. I wish I had know to do that. Other than that, great stay. The shuttle was fantastic to Careytown abd we enjoyed the little "museum" on site and the gift shop.(bought the bath sheets, which I recommended!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    We loved everything about the Jefferson except for one thing. We would have liked a mat in the shower to keep it from being so slippery. But we were very happy to have a walk in shower. The room and bed were very comfortable. The place is really beautiful and the service and food in the restaurant were wonderful. We would definitely return.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Everything was perfect

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Great hotel and great staff.. our only real negative feedback is that the gym is middling at best if we are being charitable… and realistically disappointing relative to the hotel’s overall high price/high value positioning in the market. you all can do better!! equipment, lay-out etc etc sub-par.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Everything is exceptional.

    Richmond has always held a special place in my heart as the city I grew up in, and coming back for a visit was a true pleasure. I never had the opportunity to stay at The Jefferson Hotel before, and I’m so glad I finally did. From the moment I arrived, it felt like stepping back into historic Southern history—elegant, timeless, and warm in a way that only Richmond can offer. The ambiance is a perfect blend of classic luxury and genuine hospitality, a living postcard of the South. Overall Experience:** Perfection from start to finish. The hotel exudes refinement without feeling stuffy, and it’s easy to see why The Jefferson is a beloved institution in the city. Food and Breakfast:** The breakfast was superb, with a distinct Southern Virginia touch that felt comforting and refined at the same time. I enjoyed Virginia ham for breakfast, and it truly took me to heaven—rich, savory, and perfectly prepared. The menu felt both fresh and thoughtfully curated. Staff and Service:** The staff were outstanding, delivering Southern charm with professionalism and warmth. Each interaction felt personalized, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Rooms and Cleanliness:** The room was immaculate, with classic decor that maintained the hotel’s historic charm while offering modern comforts. Parking and Accessibility:** Parking was easy and felt secure, which made the entire stay stress-free. The hotel’s central location also made it easy to explore nearby

    Exceptional service. The hotel was beautiful and located centrally.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Probably the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. We were in Richmond for a meetup with a bunch of college buddies and spouses. Totally blown away as soon as we drove up to hotel. And even more impressed after we entered. Staff was wonderful and attentive. Fabulous shower. Highly recommended.
