)
Regarded as one of the world's great hotels, the Williamsburg Inn is the crown jewel of Colonial Williamsburgs hotels. The Inn offers each guest royal treatment. For many, it is a destination in itself. Gourmet dining, two outdoor pools (one heated for year-round enjoyment), clay tennis courts, award-winning golf, and the new Spa of Colonial Williamsburg create a memorable resort experience. Enjoy afternoon tea by the fire, or try your hand at lawn bowling or croquet. The Williamsburg Inn is decorated in an elegant English Regency style and offers 62 rooms and suites in the main building. Additional rooms are available in nearby Providence Hall Guesthouses.

TopMuseums
- The DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum
- The DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum is home to an extensive collection of American and British antiques, including furniture, textiles, tools, firearms, ceramics, silver, pewter, and clothing from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Enter through the reconstructed Public Hospital of 1773 where you can view an exhibition on the care of the mentally ill from 1773 when the building opened to 1885 when the original building burned. (On Francis Street between Nassau and South Henry streets. Admission is included in Colonial Williamsburg admission pass.)
- Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum
- The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, newly re-opened in expanded quarters adjacent to the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum, houses one of the finest collections of American folk art in the country. Since colonial times, untrained artists and craftspeople working outside the mainstream of academic art have recorded aspects of everyday life, making novel and effective use of whatever media were at hand. Bold colors, simplified shapes, imaginative surface patterns, and the artist's own originality can be seen in the variety of paintings, carvings, toys, needlework, and other treasures they created. The Folk Art Museum offers changing exhibitions of American folk art from its permanent holdings and also sponsors major loan shows. (Enter the museum through the Public Hospital of 1773 on Francis Street between Nassau and South Henry streets. Admission is included in Colonial Williamsburg admission pass.)
- Bassett Hall
- Bassett Hall is a two-story, 18th-century frame house located on 585 acres of gardens and rolling Williamsburg Woodlands and is a part of the story of the creation of Colonial Williamsburgs Historic Area. John D. Rockefeller Jr. and his wife Abby Aldrich Rockefeller made their home in this house during the early restoration of the Historic Area. (Located near the Capitol, on the south side of Francis Street at the end of a long, tree-lined approach. Admission is included in Colonial Williamsburg admission pass.)
