Kimpton Forum

A beautiful, traditional hotel, the Kimpton Forum is located on the grounds of the prestigious Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia, and is easily one of the best places to stay in Charlottesville. A stylish place boasting a steakhouse, a craft beer bar and a five-acre arboretum and botanical garden, it is also home to elegant rooms with contemporary decor, oversized beds and patios offering views of either the sprawling garden or the city skyline.

At the hotel, experience some fine dining at Birch & Bloom, a steakhouse that serves regional and seasonal farm-to-table cuisine. Or, unwind at The Good Sport, a lively taproom that offers pub classics and craft beers. Elsewhere, you can explore the stunning arboretum and botanical garden behind the hotel, where you can admire the diverse flora and fauna and learn about the history and culture of the region. As evening approaches, head up to the rooftop terrace for panoramic views of the city and a range of curated events throughout the seasons.
