The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Virginia, dates to 1895. Its stately columns, clock tower, sweeping staircase, and eighteenth century–style craftsmanship suggest an even earlier era of Southern hospitality. But five stars from Forbes and five diamonds from the AAA attest to the ultimate twenty-first century standard.
Meeting planners can count on the latest technology to support corporate events throughout the function space—two elegant boardrooms, a secure nine-room conference center, five-room Presidents Hallway, Empire and Flemish Rooms, Grand Ballroom, and landmark Rotunda.
Attendees in search of inspiration need only consider the achievements of 13 presidents who stayed at the hotel—or step out into historic downtown Richmond with its museums, theaters, national Civil War visitor's center, and the church where Patrick Henry said, “...give me liberty or give me death.”

Beautiful historic property with gracious hospitality in the heart of Richmond. The meeting spaces and the food were a bit under expectations.

I became acquainted with this hotel when I designed tours for the American Orient Express luxury train. The passengers absolutely fell in love with this property as it reflected the train's ambience...reminiscent of a more gracious era.
Currently, Richmond became one of the destinations for my programsI Therefore, what better property to hold our functions. The meeting rooms are as elegant as the public space. Food and beverage done and displayed to perfection. Sales staff up to the ever so gracious GM were outstanding. One will not be disappointed.
