Planning Tips for This Area
- Stay inside the Historic Area for the full experience. The Williamsburg Inn, Lodge, and Colonial Houses put you within walking distance of everything, at a higher price point than the chain corridor.
- Busch Gardens-corridor hotels suit families with park tickets. Several offer shuttle service or are a short drive from the park entrance.
- Richmond Rd and Bypass Rd have the widest range of budgets. Most national chains sit along this stretch, a 5-10 minute drive from the Historic Area.
- Book B&Bs directly when possible. Several of Williamsburg’s independent inns don’t participate in the major OTAs.
Should I stay inside the Historic Area or along Richmond Rd?
Staying inside the Historic Area (Williamsburg Inn, Lodge, or Colonial Houses) puts you steps from everything at a premium price; Richmond Rd and Bypass Rd chain hotels are a short drive away and generally less expensive.
Is it worth staying near Busch Gardens instead?
If a Busch Gardens or Water Country USA visit is the main focus of your trip, yes — several hotels near the park offer shuttle service or a short walk/drive to the entrance.
How does NME choose which properties to feature?
We verify each hotel directly against its own official site and current operating status rather than relying on aggregator lists, and we exclude anything we can’t confirm is still open. Read more on our methodology page.
