Additional Information
Additional details
Inspired by the architecture of Thomas Jefferson’s Academical Village, Kimpton The Forum Hotel’s grand exterior—with its stately white columns, red brick façade and stone accents—is perfectly at home in the college town of Charlottesville. Step inside and the vibrancy of the space takes hold. Not satisfied to simply be a place to lay your head at night, the hotel features Birch & Bloom, our upscale farm-to-table restaurant, The Good Sport, a buzzy craft beer bar, plus state-of-the-art meeting rooms and walking trails that weave through the arboretum & botanical gardens out back. All of this, along with luxurious amenities, spacious and comfortable guestrooms and suites, and Kimpton’s signature approach to hospitality, makes for a unique hotel experience.
