Keswick Hall

The misty hillsides and valleys of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains are home to one of the country's most elegant golf and spa estates, Keswick Hall at Monticello from Orient-Express. Horse races, vineyards and Thomas Jefferson's famed home offer ample diversion, but you'll want to spend plenty of time on the premises, with its full-service spa — a blissful oasis of massages, body wraps and facials — and Arnold Palmer Signature 1 8-hole golf course. Later, after a decadent dinner at Fossett's, retreat to your Master Suite, with its terrace overlooking the countryside or the golf course.

Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and minutes from historic Charlottesville, Virginia, the six hundred acre Keswick Estate provides a magnificent backdrop for Keswick Hall, a forty-eight room country house hotel. Keswick Hall is located close to Charlottesville and only minutes from Thomas Jefferson's historic Monticello. Formerly known as Villa Crawford, it has been sensitively restored and extended to create a unique and intimate hotel, a perfect hideaway for romantics and explorers, offering excellent golf facilities and the Keswick Club for your recreation needs.

Keswick Hall has been elegantly appointed, blending the eclectic design tradition of the English Country House with the warm informality of American hospitality at its best. English and American antiques complement the classic designs of Laura Ashley fabrics and wallpapers. Each of the forty-eight spacious bedrooms is individually furnished in its own particular theme and contains the cherished possessions of a family home; charming china, interesting old prints, books and family photographs. Temperature in the bedrooms is individually controlled. All rooms feature a shower and bath or a shower/bath combination; TV; telephone; climate control; use of bathrobes; mineral waters and fresh fruit daily.

At Keswick Hall, afternoon tea can be taken on the terrace overlooking the grounds, or in the comfort of the Drawing Room. In the Dining Room, guests enjoy a combination of European classic recipes and the best of modern American cuisine, followed by an after-dinner glass of port by the fireside in the main hall. Dining is also available at Keswick Club; choose the Palmer Room for intimate dining; the poolside terraces for a casual lunch or The Bar for cocktails after a round of golf.

In addition to our Arnold Palmer signature golf course, the Keswick Club Pavilion also offers an indoor/outdoor pool, spa and fitness facilities, 5 tennis courts (clay and hard surface), massage and facial treatments, as well as a retail shop.
