Book NowThe Inn at Little Washington Review
What began as a small-town eatery in 1978 has grown into a legend. The rich interior of the three-story white-frame inn is the work of Joyce Conway-Evans, who has designed theatrical sets and rooms in English royal houses. Plush canopy beds, marble bathrooms, and fresh flowers make the rooms sumptuous. Recent additions include two luxurious cottages: the 3,200-square-foot Claiborne House and the smaller but equally charming Gamekeeper's Cottage, both steps from the main inn. Chef Patrick O'Connell's much-loved New American food is served in a slate-floor dining room with William Morris wallpaper, and his restaurant consistently wins respect from international critics. The seven-course dinner costs $178 per person on Saturday, $158 on Friday, and $148 Sunday through Thursday, not including wine and drinks; rooms are equally pricey.
2010 Fodor's 100 Hotel Award Winner
With only 30 tables, the dining room at the Inn at Little Washington is an intimate setting to enjoy a decadent multicourse meal. Chef Patrick O'Connell treats diners to upscale American cuisine in the form of a set prix-fixe menu that changes with the seasons. Look for delicacies like lamb loin served over parsley risotto with roasted-garlic–ramp custard and morel mushrooms, or new twists on classic dishes like macaroni and cheese with Virginia country ham and shaved black summer truffle.
