In a city as steeped in history as Charlottesville, Virginia—home to U.S. presidents, witness of the ravages of the Civil War and the burgeoning Virginia wine industry—it’s a significant achievement for an inn to rise in prominence. The Blue Ridge Mountain locale of the Boar’s Head Inn would be enough to qualify such distinction, but this remarkable 573-acre property compliments the fresh mountain air and stunning scenery with gracious hospitality, gourmet cuisine and a sense of the past that doesn’t sacrifice a single modern amenity. Many of the 170 guest rooms and suites have their original pine beams and paneling, all decorated in Colonial furnishings, while the newer structures retain an 18th-century English atmosphere. Its championship golf course, on-site spa and health club, 20 tennis courts and the University of Virginia and a fleet of activities—hiking, cycling, vineyard touring, hot air balloon rides—are also easily accessible.

Today, the original mill houses the Inn's acclaimed Old Mill Room restaurant and Bistro 1834, as well as 39 guest rooms.
