I have never stayed at the Jefferson before, so I was knocked out by the room, the service, and the quality of everything. We had in-suite dining and were highly impressed by both the food and the promptness of delivery. The parking staff, bell hops, and doormen were outstanding.
We were mightily impressed by the seamless connection among the parking folks, luggage delivery, and the front desk. Many other hotels could learn from this service!
We were at the Jefferson for a Wedding Celebration...the cocktail party and the dinner were excellent! Having a gluten allergy, I was deeply appreciative of the staff's and chef's response to my needs--esp. given that we were with a group. Thank you!
Staying at the Jefferson is like stepping into an old movie set in a beautiful hotel (and I am sure it has in fact "starred" in a few movies). The hotel is immaculate and the staff are friendly and helpful. The room was inviting and, honestly, I think the bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in — perfect mattress, perfect pillows, cool sheets. We hope we can have another little getaway there someday!
First time staying at the historic Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, but hopefully won't be our last. Gorgeous property, located within walking distance to everything we wanted to do (concert at Dominion Energy Center, great meal at Julep's, wonderful breakfast at Perly's). Highly recommend if you are looking for a very special stay.
Such a great hotel - great staff, interesting, welcoming... we always feel good at the Jefferson. Our only ask is please, please improve the gym (though access to the great YMCA close by helps).
This is the most beautiful hotel I have ever seen. Top tier staff, service and food. Quality all the way down to the bath towels. The night time turn down service was unexpected and just another level of class for this lovely historic hotel. Highly recommend!
The Hotel is a beautiful historic establishment in a charming part of Richmond.
My Wife and I enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity.
We enjoyed our stay at The Jefferson. The staff was very professional, helpful and accommodating. The room was wonderful and the champagne brunch was terrific. Would highly recommend
