Oakhurst Inn
Residential boutique with collegiate Southern charm. Feels more like a well-appointed faculty home than a hotel lobby. Warm tones, overstuffed armchairs, crackling fires, and a lobby bar that locals actually use.
Book a Tavern Room if you're an early riser — it's the only room type with room service, and you get a free first cup of coffee included
Why It Matters
Considered Charlottesville's first contemporary boutique hotel. Built from four real Craftsman-era homes (dating to 1913) that once served as student and faculty housing for UVA. The only boutique inn in the city's South Lawn National Historic District. Pet-friendly, extends to long-term furnished rentals (30+ days), and runs a weekly Gin & Jazz night that draws locals.
Charlottesville's first contemporary boutique hotel, the Oakhurst Inn is composed of four Craftsman-era residences dating to 1913, thoughtfully renovated and opened in 2014. Across the street from the University of Virginia grounds and a quarter-mile from Scott Stadium, it sits right inside a National Historic District. The 36-room inn strikes a balance between residential warmth and hotel comfort — think vintage hardwood floors, custom cherry-wood beds, and five shared libraries, each with a fireplace.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Executive Queen Suite
The apartment-style option for those staying longer or traveling with an extra person. Includes a full kitchen (not just a kitchenette), a separate futon, and a washer/dryer in-unit. Sleeps three comfortably. Same cherry-wood queen bed and DreamFoam mattress as the standard rooms.
Queen · 36 sqm
King Guestroom
The standard king configuration across several of the inn's Craftsman buildings. Every bed is custom-built from local cherry wood with an all-natural bamboo-fiber DreamFoam mattress and down alternative bedding. European-style bathroom with luxury bath amenities. Compact but well-finished.
King · 20 sqmPenthouse Suite
The top-floor showpiece — it takes over the entire upper level of the inn's largest building. King cherry-wood bed with DreamFoam mattress, a soaking tub in the bathroom with handheld shower, and a seating area with sofa bed and second flat-screen TV. The kitchenette has a refrigerator, sink, and microwave. The largest room at the inn by a wide margin.
King · 53 sqmQueen Guestroom
Same build quality as the king rooms — local cherry-wood bed frame, DreamFoam mattress, and European-style bathroom. Individually styled room by room, so each has its own character. At 200–230 sq ft, these are cozy rather than spacious.
Queen · 20 sqmQueen Guestroom Accessible
Same queen configuration with cherry-wood bed and luxury bath products, plus full ADA-compliant features. Grab bars in the bathroom, doors at least 32 inches wide throughout, audible alarms, lowered emergency signage, and closed captioning on the TV. No steps — wheelchair accessible.
Queen · 20 sqmQueen Suite
A step up in space with a separate sitting room featuring its own flat-screen TV and a pull-out full-sized sofa bed. Custom-designed furniture throughout and a European-style bathroom. Suites are positioned near a shared library stocked with complimentary refreshments and coffee service.
Queen · 33 sqmTavern Guestroom
Perched above the Oakhurst Inn Café, these are the only rooms at the inn with room service — and your first cup of coffee is on the house. Ideal for early risers who want to roll downstairs to the café. Same cherry-wood beds and European bathrooms as the rest of the inn, with slightly more square footage.
