We don’t need to convince you that the Williamsburg Inn is among the finest hotels in the area; we’ll just let the fact that it was the overnight choice for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip on two separate occasions do that for us. From the bellmen handing you complimentary tickets to the historical area to the pro shop sliding you the best advice on how to conquer the 18th at Golden Horseshoe Golf Club, the royal treatment isn’t just reserved for the aristocracy.

Stroll ye olde streets, stopping into dog-friendly establishments such as the DoG Street Pub and Virginia Beer Company, then paw your way back into your lodge suite and snuggle up together in your king bed.
