Welcome to the Clifton

Welcome to The Clifton, where historic elegance and contemporary style come together to create an experience that’s uniquely magnificent. Luxurious guest rooms spanning five late 18th and early 19th century buildings offer refined comfort. 

Enjoy sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains throughout 100 acres of Virginia beauty. Walking trails, a private lake and a gorgeous infinity pool invite guests to unwind and soak in the pure mountain air. At 1799, Chef Matthew Bousquet treats guests to unforgettable cuisine that features local ingredients, many sourced from The Clifton’s own garden. 

Only minutes from downtown Charlottesville, The Clifton is your home as you explore surrounding historic sites and award-winning wineries in Wine Enthusiast’s Wine Region of the Year. We look forward to welcoming you!
