Hotel at a Glance: Founders Inn and Spa

With its orderly rows of windows and symmetrical chimneys, the stately exterior of Founders Inn and Spa pays homage to Georgian architecture, a style named after the four Georges who ruled England during the 18th century. But the 4-star resort’s interior is a tribute to one of the biggest thorns in the side of King George III—colonial America. Oil paintings of the Founding Fathers peer out from gilded frames, and colonial-era furnishings sit around roaring fireplaces. Appropriately, the resort puts you within driving distance of important sites in colonial America: Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown.

  • Where you’ll stay: The historical theme extends to guest accommodations, where you’ll find traditional furnishings and colonial-style bedding and decor. Some rooms overlook carefully manicured English gardens. 
  • Pamper yourself: at Flowering Almond Spa, which administers pedicures, wraps, facials, and massages. Other spa amenities include a fitness center.
  • Take a refreshing dip in the indoor saltwater pool, which also features a hot tub.
  • Savor gourmet fare like bouillabaisse, lamb ragout, and other upscale dishes at the award-winning Swan Terrace Grill, one of two on-site restaurants. The other is the Hunt Room, a casual bar with pool tables, burgers, and brick-oven pizzas.

Virginia Beach, Virginia: Award-Winning Boardwalk and Seaside Museums

English settlers from the Virginia Company of London first stepped foot onto American soil in what is now Virginia Beach, Virginia. They would go on to found Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement, along the James River. But before they left the shoreline, they erected a cross on the spot where they had disembarked. Today, the First Landing Cross commemorates this momentous event. Needless to say, a lot has changed in Virginia Beach since the 1600s. The seaside town has become a family-friendly destination known for supersize beaches and a 3-mile-long boardwalk dubbed one of America’s best by Travel + Leisure.

About 4-Star Founders Inn and Spa

With its orderly rows of windows and symmetrical chimneys, The Founders Inn and Spa's stately exterior references Georgian architecture, a style named after the four Georges who ruled 18th-century England. The resort's interior, however, pays tribute to one of the biggest thorns in the side of the third King George—colonial America. Oil paintings of the Founding Fathers peer out from gilded frames, and colonial-era furnishings sit around roaring fireplaces. The hotel is on the grounds of and owned by Regent University, a Christian school founded in 1978 by evangelical broadcaster Pat Robertson, who remains its chancellor.

The resort continues the historical theme throughout its guest accommodations, featuring artifacts such as throwback quilts and gas fireplaces. Bacon-wrapped Virginia beef, pork belly with local peaches, and other colonial-inspired dishes send taste buds back in time at the award-winning Swan Terrace, one of two onsite restaurants.

Modern amenities such as an outdoor pool, 25-foot water slide, and tennis courts facilitate kinetic entertainment. The Flowering Almond Spa’s hot tub and relaxing body treatments soothe muscles sore from bouts in the fitness center or arm-wrestling matches with redcoats.

Great gym and pool and customer service! I have stayed here many times and always enjoy the gym (which has a peloton and a spa) and the huge pool, this time my flight got delayed and Ivenia and Tyler were able to help me adjust our shuttle time and check out time to accommodate. Thank you!

Better Experience needed Terrible housekeeping. Restaurant staff horrible. Normally a better experience. Staff was good could improve. Front desk staff didn't inform us amenities or check out times. Very disappointed. Will think twice before coming back. Training needed

Great staff! When I approached the front desk I was greeted by Ivenia and I have to say she was the nicest and most professional receptionist I have ever encountered. She was very polite and engaging. She helped resolve my issue quickly and was helpful. I would definitely recommend The Founder’s Inn.
