Charlottesville, Virginia Hotels

The small, sophisticated city of Charlottesville, Virginia, is the home of the University of Virginia (UVa). It's easy to get around Charlottesville and find the many bike paths and trails within the city. The Blue Ridge Parkway is an easy day trip. Places to fish, watch birds and observe wildlife are plentiful in the country areas just outside Charlottesville. As you might expect from a college town, accommodations of all types and prices are available. Check UVa's game schedule well in advance of your trip. If there's a home game, all the hotels are likely to be booked.
