Williamsburg Woodlands Hotel & Suites
Part of the official Colonial Williamsburg Resort Collection, this hotel is within walking distance of the Visitor Center. It's also a part of the nonprofit organization that runs Colonial Williamsburg, so every penny you spend there goes directly to The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. The hotel's suites offer a king-size bed in the master bedroom, and a lounging room complete with queen sofa bed, refrigerator and microwave. Standard guest rooms offer two beds, a sitting area and lounge chair. Take advantage of the resort's bike rentals to explore the area without a car. Start the day with the free continental breakfast, then grab afternoon tea and an 18th-century meal in one of Colonial Williamsburg's five restaurants.

Williamsburg Lodge
This hotel is also an official part of the Colonial Williamsburg complex, under the same nonprofit umbrella. A two-year renovation project completed in 2007 has left this property with even more choices for lodging: the main lodge, one of 30 rooms in four guesthouses or Tazewell Hall. The guesthouses are decorated in an early American folk-art style with period-inspired furnishings. Tazewell Hall is the most contemporary of the three lodging options, with suites, fireplaces and balconies. The main lodge building has a restaurant serving Southern favorites and a bar/lounge for a convenient nightcap.
