Williamsburg Lodge, Autograph Collection
Williamsburg’s authentic, rustic lodge
Completed in 1939 by John D. Rockefeller Jr., the rustic Williamsburg Lodge, Autograph Collection was the first Colonial Williamsburg hotel to open as Rockefeller helped spearhead the historic town’s restoration.
Today, the hotel features 323 guest rooms, a restaurant, bar and lounge, and a 45,000 square-foot meeting space for banquets, expos, meetings and weddings. Original blue stone floors, cypress-paneled walls and folk art inspired by the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum (which is just down the street) add to the cozy and warm charm of Rockefeller’s lodge, giving travelers a rustic and renewing escape to this day.
