Boutique Hotel Room above The Jefferson Theater on the Downtown Mall

The Jeff is a boutique hotel and private oasis located on Charlottesville's historic Downtown Mall. Nestled above the world famous Jefferson Theater, you'll find sleek spaces, soaring archways, and subtle luxury with a rock and roll edge. Once you're inside these soundproof walls the world recedes like a dream – until you're ready to emerge, refreshed, with the heart if the city on your doorstep.

The Jeff offers:
"Suites" with king beds w/additional living area
"Studios" standard king bedroom

Jeff Suite 203: Each room is individually furnished with a distinct personality. Think effortless cool, creamy suede, and desert colors with pops of quirky humor. To ensure privacy and true getaway vibes, The Jeff was designed to be entirely self-service (no front desk or need for check-in). Upon booking, you will receive a unique code that gives you access to your room.

The Jeff Hotel Suites feature a luxurious, custom-made king bed - perfect to settle down in after a hard day's rockin', two flat screen TVs, and a seating area with an additional sofa bed and large windows overlooking the Downtown Mall. A Marshall amp speaker is provided to kick back and enjoy your favorite tunes. Each room is equipped with a wet bar, mini-fridge, and Nespresso machine. Our spacious en-suite bathrooms boast high ceilings, skylights, and walk-in showers.

Purchase of each room comes with one, single-use parking voucher for the nearest parking garage – about a 3-minute walk from the entrance. Being on a pedestrian mall the hotel has no on-site parking, but we think that having C'ville's most popular bars, restaurants and music venues mere steps away is a great trade-off!

Other amenities:
•High speed internet
•Clothes steamer
•Hair dryer
•2 heating and cooling zones
•24-hour guest support

*Note – The Jeff Hotel is located in a historic building above the nationally renowned Jefferson Theater and has no elevator. Each room is only accessible via stairs, in some cases multiple flights.
Due to the active nature of the theater below, there will be times where there may be crowds outside of the main entrance waiting for an event or during an event.

Pet Friendly Room with $75 pet fee! 1 dog max. Please mention to us that you plan to bring a pet. We will charge a $150 fee if we are not notified of pets staying in the space. Please do NOT leave pets unattended in the space, unless crated.

Great Place to Stay in Charlottesville
This was a fantastic and easy place to stay while we were in Charlottesville. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The whole process was very easy and convenient. We have already recommended this to some friends who are going to be in Charlottesville in the next couple of months.

Overall, we loved our stay as it was very convenient to all tge Downtown locations we visited - Alligator concert at the Jefferson, Melring Pot, Shops, etc. Only challenge was getting notice of our pet to the owner and lack of silverware in the kitchenette.

A microwave would be nice to heat up leftovers! Also the wattage of some bulbs, especially the bathroom and over table in kitchenette, should be higher for better visibility.

Beautiful Hotel, Frustrating Experience
When we arrived, our door code didn't work. Other guests didn't seem to have this issue, so it could've been a fluke. Since there is no staff on the property we had to wait outside our room until someone contacted us back. It was only about a 30 minute wait, but I have a toddler who needed to use the restroom and a nap, neither of which could be well handled from the hallway. Once we got in, the room was beautiful. There were a few spots it looked like the cleaners may have missed on the couch and near the table, but overall it seemed pretty clean. Really appreciated the garage validation, it made parking easier. Would definitely recommend for short stays. If you need to bring more than a couple of pieces of luggage, it can be challenging to make the short hike from parking to the room. As they mention, there is no elevator, so definitely be prepared for that. The convenience to everything in C'ville was wonderful. And, being right on the mall with shopping, dining, etc. was great. My kid loved the ice cream shop, the Discovery Center, toy store, etc. We enjoyed the dining, bookstores, and other boutiques, as well as being close to the beautiful hikes, etc. The only down side, if you sit outside in the Jefferson patio area, be prepared to be consistently approached by the unhoused people who sleep at the mall, especially in the evenings when shops start closing. One individual in particular was quite inebriated and wouldn't leave me alone. He took the drink off of my table, kept asking for money or items, and seemed to believe that I was a person who didn't hire him for a job at the Theatre, which made him a bit irate. I realize the property can't manage this particular issue, but if I had known, I may have planned differently. Overall, it was a nice place to stay, but I might trade some conveniences for others on my next trip.
