Kingsmill Resort

Kingsmill Resort combines modern meeting facilities with a reverence for history, a passion for excellence, and the very best in present-day hospitality. The resort, which presides over 2,900 acres of Virginia woodlands, earns consistent commendations from the meetings industry for its IACC-certified conference facilities and service-oriented professional staff. Many of the function rooms incorporate ergonomically designed chairs together with individual climate control, adjustable lighting, soundproof walls, and spectacular views of the James River. The scenic Williamsburg location lends itself quite naturally to creative, productive meetings and events—flawlessly staged by an expert Conference Services team.
Attendees and their families applaud the resort's proximity to Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, and Water Country USA, all accessible by complimentary shuttle, as well as the historic villages of Jamestown and Yorktown.

The resort's range of activities provides incentive to stay on-site as well. Three championship 18-hole golf courses and one 9-hole, par-3 course make Kingsmill the largest golf resort in Virginia. Also among the offerings: 15 tennis courts, a sports club, and a European-style spa. An equally impressive lineup of dining choices includes Bray Bistro, featuring sophisticated Southern cuisine, and a Friday evening seafood buffet.

The four-diamond experience continues to unfold as guests retire to their choice of 425 guest rooms and suites brimming with warmth and all the luxuries expected by today's discriminating groups. There are no packages available at this time. There are no hot dates at this time. Posted 18 May, 2010 by Michael Garrow Kingsmill's Head of Golf Instruction Honored as Teacher of the Year
