Free extras include a cocktail hour with snacks, parking, and Wi-Fi. Travelers with kids should consider Kingsmill Resort; though it's farther outside the city, its three pools, waterslide, and kids’ club are attractive features.

Operated by Colonial Williamsburg and located a short walk from its main street, the 62-room Williamsburg Inn is a top choice for travelers visiting this living history museum. This historic luxury hotel, originally built by the Rockefeller family in 1937, showcases elegant, regency style decor. The individually decorated rooms are equally opulent and finished with modern amenities like Bose sound systems, and minibars. They're spacious, too, with sitting areas and bathrooms with double vanities and separate showers and tubs. Features are extensive and include two dining venues, an adjacent spa, and three pools. Service is also top-tier, from the doorman to the concierge to the 24-hour room service. That said, this is a pricey option -- travelers can get the location and spa amenities without the big price tag at the Williamsburg Lodge, although it's admittedly less regal.
