Frommer's "Although it was built in 1985, one of Virginia's finest boutique hotels was designed after the grand manor houses of the Federal period and thus fits right into Old Town." Full review
Star Service "Close to shopping and restaurants, this elegant and stately four-story Federal-style building blends in perfectly with its historic surroundings, even though it was built in 1985." Full review
Michelin Guide "There's no way of knowing that this Federal manor in Old Town, now a Kimpton property, was built in 1985."

DK Eyewitness "On a corner of Lafayette Square, this 1862 building has been transformed by the French Sofitel chain into an elegant contemporary hotel."
Star Service "The well-maintained accommodations revolve around their big beds, with ceiling-high mahogany headboards and cloudlike duvets. Technology is given a boost with the 38-inch flat-screen TVs." Full review
Gayot "This hotel opened in the summer of 2002 in a historic building dating back to the late 19th century."
BlackBook "Brand Paris infiltrates America's executive block party with stealth, impeccable taste, and funky striped carpets."
