Item Description

Enjoy a luxurious stay at the Inn at Little Washington in Washington, Va. You’ll be pampered in a lovely room and enjoy a sumptuous dinner at the award-winning restaurant plus a hot breakfast the next morning.

The Inn at Little Washington was the first establishment in the Mobil Travel Guide’s history ever to receive 5 stars for its restaurant and 5 stars for its accommodations, and is the first Inn ever to receive AAA’s highest accolade, the 5 Diamond Award, for both food and accommodations. Travel & Leisure Magazine’s World’s Best Awards ranked the Inn as the #1 hotel in the world for food. The Inn at Little Washington is a member of Relais & Chateaux.

For some The Inn is a romantic fantasy world far removed from the harsh realities of modern day life. For others it's a culinary oasis akin to visiting a Michelin starred restaurant in the European countryside. Some are surprised -- and relieved -- that The Inn doesn't take itself too seriously. Guests often remark that while the interiors could be called grand they are also whimsical and wonderfully comfortable.

For history lovers Washington, Va., is one of the few unspoiled villages left in America. They say it hasn't changed much since George Washington first surveyed it and named the streets back in 1749.
