Transform Your Meetings Into Inspiring Events at One of Virginia’s Most Charming Boutique Hotels
Contemporary sophistication meets historical tradition at our sprawling 100-acre estate, offering an array of meeting and conference options. Host any kind of gathering, from intimate board meetings or seminars to large trainings or corporate banquets for up to 250 guests.
The Clifton was originally constructed in 1799 as a classic colonial-style home for Thomas Jefferson’s daughter and husband, Martha Jefferson and Thomas Mann Randolph.
Interiors have been reimagined by the acclaimed Blackberry Design Group team to create a modern-day, chic country estate. Incorporating mid-century details throughout, the thoughtfully renovated property includes 20 guest rooms spanning five late 18th & early 19th-century buildings, a restaurant, bar and lounge, and bricklined wine cellar.
