A Royal Retreat Fit for a Queen

Nestled within the heart of Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area, the Williamsburg Inn is not just a luxurious hotel—it’s a destination that carries the legacy of the world’s most iconic figures. From U.S. Presidents to Hollywood stars, this grand establishment has hosted the elite, but perhaps its most regal guests were none other than Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip themselves. Their visits to this distinguished hotel in 1957 and 2007 cemented the Williamsburg Inn’s place in royal history, and today, you can follow in the footsteps of royalty by booking a stay in the suite & room in which they once relaxed.

A Royal Legacy at the Williamsburg Inn

The first royal visit occurred in 1957, when Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip traveled to Williamsburg and Jamestown to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the first permanent English settlement in America. The couple’s arrival marked a monumental occasion as it was the first visit by a reigning British monarch to the United States. During their stay, the Queen and Prince Philip took part in numerous historic events, including a special visit to Colonial Williamsburg and a ceremony at Jamestown Festival Park. The Williamsburg Inn, their chosen resort, served as a sanctuary for the royal couple, offering an unmatched level of comfort and refinement.

Our Regal Tributes to the Queen

The Williamsburg Inn is home to two exquisite suites that honor Queen Elizabeth II’s historic visits to the hotel—each a living tribute to her legacy. The first is a room where the Queen stayed during her 1957 visit, a charming and intimate space that echoes the elegance of mid-century royal travel. The second is The Queen’s Suite, a luxurious resort suite where Her Majesty and Prince Philip stayed during their 2007 return to Williamsburg, celebrating the 400th anniversary of Jamestown’s founding.

Both rooms embody the refined elegance and timeless charm associated with the British royal family, but each offers a different experience. The Queen’s Room from 1957 captures the essence of the Queen's first visit to Williamsburg—more personal and reflective of the era’s regal style. Meanwhile, The Queen’s Suite exudes an upgraded, contemporary luxury, with stunning views and sophisticated design that reflects the grandeur of Her Majesty’s later years.

No matter which room you choose, you’ll be enveloped in an atmosphere of royal opulence. From the moment you enter, you’ll be greeted by carefully chosen details, from the sumptuous furnishings and rich fabrics to the views that capture the essence of Williamsburg’s historic beauty. These suites are more than just places to stay—they are experiences that evoke the spirit of Her Majesty’s visits, offering you a chance to step into history.
