Currently experiencing an exciting urban renewal, downtown Richmond, Virginia, is one of the South’s oldest cities, rich with history and traditional Southern charm. Expansive in scope yet small-town in feel, downtown Richmond features a variety of unique districts and neighborhoods, each with their own specific character and appeal. From the bustling Financial District to the historic Shockoe Bottom, Shockoe Slip, The Fan and Church Hill neighborhoods, and more, downtown is rich with culture at every corner of the city.
The Historic Preservation Society is active in Richmond, and it shows. Throughout all the urban renewal, many historic commercial and residential buildings featuring classic pre- and post-Civil War architecture have been thoughtfully preserved. As a result, guests in our downtown temporary housing options will enjoy the ambiance of Richmond’s historic past balanced by the contemporary designs that appeal to modern sensibilities.
