About

Keswick Hall reopened in October 2021 with a new take on American Heritage and Southern Hospitality. The luxurious country retreat will be positioned as a peaceful and pastoral property in the Mid-Atlantic region, appealing to consumers of boutique and luxury hotels alike. No other place will meld the equestrian lifestyle; winemaking, and American history together quite like Keswick Hall in the stunning Virginia countryside.

The grand estate and restaurant go back to its rich culture past, offering an unparalleled food and beverage experiences through world renowned Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, harmonious design by Hart Howerton Architecture, resplendent lighting by L’Obsvatoire, trailblazing landscaping by Nelson Byrd Woltz, world class recreational sports, and the very best in personalized service.

Featuring 42 new additional rooms on top of the already 38 rooms when opening, including a 2,000 SQFT penthouse, Keswick Hall will also be delivering a new event space layout of 15,000 SQFT within 7 event rooms that will cater up to 250 person events.

The award-winning Pete Dye designed Full Cry golf course will continue to make the hotel a destination within itself. Also, not too far away you’ll find myriad walking paths as you pass by from the renowned 7-clay court complex, 2 of which are all weather European red clay hardcourts.

While the Jean-Georges restaurant will be serving organic and sustainable sourced product from local suppliers and farms, you’ll be able to start or end the evening with a lobby experience that includes Crawford’s Bar, a new cocktail concept with relaxed sophistication. During the summer months the newly reconstructed infinity swimming pool will offer cabana service and sweeping views of the beauty and richness that lays backdrop to the horizon. In October 2022 the new spa opened, which allows one to discover a sense of discrete luxury where you can retreat from everyday into the calm comforts of a space all your own.

I had my daughter's wedding on July 23 at Keswick Hall. The ceremony was held outside and it was 103 degrees that day. Keswick and Kelsey Mayo, wedding planner, keep everyone inside with the air conditioning and refreshing drinks until the last minute and cocktail hour was switched to indoors (great to have a plan B). When the wedding began, we didn't give another thought to anything except enjoying the day, The venue was beautiful, food excellent, and service stellar. Kelsey helped greatly from beginning to end and also gave great recommendations on the wedding cake and flowers.

Keswick was the perfect venue. Our daughter's wedding was outside and the vista was amazing. Their service, attention to detail, and professional advice was invaluable. We have been to dozens of weddings over the past couple of years, both destination weddings and local weddings.....Keswick was the perfect venue. Charlottesville has an abundance of venues for weddings and without a doubt, Keswick was the best in Charlottesville. Kelsey Mayo was wonderful to work with.....and she was invaluable both in the planning as well as the day of the wedding. The groom's family was from Charlottesville and they had been to dozens of weddings at other venues and each and every Charlottesville family remarked that Keswick was the most beautiful venue, best food and service.

We were absolutely thrilled with this venue for our April wedding! Kelsey is wonderful to work with and very accomodating. We also took bridal photos here and Kelsey was a huge help setting that up and supplying a golf cart and driver to get us around. They go above and beyond! We really wanted to have our english bulldog be part of our day and while we were at the reception and rehearsal dinner they even had a staff member take her out for walks and check on her(Ben we absolutely appreciate and adore you!). Staff is Fantastic and we really did not want for anything on our special day. Food is still being raved about from our guests and how great of a time they had. Could not have asked for more and will return for our anniversary!

Keswick is a beautiful and picturesque venue, and we highly recommend them for any special event. They did an amazing job for us. We were delighted by all the staff's competence -- most especially Kelsey Mayo, event planner. She was extremely helpful, accommodating, and understanding of the stress associated when hostessing a destination wedding. Additionally, most every guest mentioned the delicious food! So glad that we chose Keswick as they made Amy and Michael's wedding day even more special!!

Keswick Hall was the wedding location of my dreams. We never seriously considered or even visited another location. It is magical and such a special venue. The estate and grounds are reminiscent of an Italian villa, and the quality of service is unparalleled. Everyone I worked with throughout the process, including Kelsey Mayo was extremely professional, helpful, and diligent. Keswick’s service and execution of our large wedding was flawless, and I wouldn’t have changed a single thing they did that day. I will always remember our wedding day in the happiest of lights, and I’m so thankful that Keswick was able to handle such a complicated service and timeline. Hosting a large wedding at Keswick is not an inexpensive endeavor and I wish all the costs were stated upfront (some tiny things were added throughout the process), but it was worth every penny and I wouldn’t change a thing. I’d do it all again, no questions asked. Our wedding day was the happiest day of our lives to date, and we are so thankful we chose Keswick. I couldn’t have imagined the day any differently. We are so thankful for all of their help and so happy with how everything turned out. We’re looking forward to coming back and staying the weekend in the future.

Our wedding at Keswick Hall was perfect. The staff members were wonderful to work with and my daughter got just what she wanted - a beautiful, simple,but elegant wedding. Also, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. We have had many people tell us that it was the best wedding that they have ever attended.

Keswick Hall was the perfect location for my daughter's destination wedding in Charlottesville. The hotel is first class, the amenities terrific, the food delicious and the service impeccable. Their onsite wedding coordinator, Adam Donovan-Groves, is the consummate professional, taking care of every need of both the bride and myself. The hotel staff takes similar care of all your guests to make for a most enjoyable wedding weekend.

Keswick Hall is a very fine venue. I have officiated at weddings, and also been a wedding guest here. This is a one-site-has-it-all kind of venue--great over-night accommodations at the hotel, and spacious rooms for entertaining. Makes a great spot for a rehearsal dinner AND for the wedding reception, both. Of course, if you are wanting an outdoor wedding, plenty of grounds space to choose from. The staff is on task, so important if you want your wedding to go off without a hitch.

Keswick Hall is the epitome of what a classic, elegant and memorable wedding location should be. It has all of the charm of central/southern Virginia and all of the refined beauty of a grand hall and grounds. The views are stunning and the experience is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Once you visit, you will need no convincing!
