Service was lovely — the hotel and gardens were gorgeous and so enjoyable! The food was delicious — the bartenders needed a bit more training though as they struggled to keep up with guests / attend to people arriving quickly (although they were so sweet!).

The Kimpton Forum in Charlottesville is a terrific hotel with everything you’d expect from a new, high-quality property. The facilities are spotless and modern, with excellent amenities and beautifully maintained landscaping that makes the whole place feel inviting. Its location right on UVA’s campus is hard to beat, and the meeting spaces are spacious and well-designed — perfect for events or conferences. A great choice whether you’re visiting for business or leisure.
