Welcome to the only hotel in America that Queen Elizabeth graced with her presence twice -- in '57 and again in '07, both celebrating the anniversary of Historic Jamestown. The Williamsburg Inn, conceived and built by John D. Rockefeller Jr., opened in 1937 and reigns from prime real estate. Just a simple stroll delivers guests into the Historic Area's sights. Thanks to a recent renovation the 62 guest rooms are generously sized averaging 500 square feet and the ultra-modern bathrooms are fit for a Queen with large sunken, marble tubs. Soft butter hues enhancing the decor pair beautifully with the dark colonial antique reproductions. Two high end restaurants offer memorable dining experiences. The opulent Regency Room is open for breakfast, Sunday brunch, lunch, tea and dinner. A traditional tea is lovely with clotted cream, chocolate dipped strawberries and finger sandwiches. For casual dining, the Terrace Room offers sandwiches and entrees including burgers, ribs, and pasta. Salads are also featured. Lunch and Dinner are served daily.

The Inn backs up to the region's three spectacular golf courses, lawn bowling, croquet and the three resort style swimming pools. The well equipped fitness room and resort spa sit a very easy stroll from the Inn.

While my family and I didn't have the opportunity to spend the night in one of the Inn's beautiful guest rooms, I did notice children skipping through the Inn's lobby who were clearly doted on by staff.
