Whether you’re traveling with an active family, seeking to be just footsteps away from the sand or craving a relaxing and luxurious retreat, you’ll find just the right place to stay. Below, some suggestions to get your planning started during the Virginia Beach festival.
Family-Friendly Accommodations
As a premier family-friendly destination, it’s no surprise Virginia Beach boasts plentiful hotels and resorts designed with families of every size in mind.
The Holiday Inn & Suites North Beach provides a resort experience for kids of all ages – and for kids at heart! Guests can enjoy the Splish Splash Lagoon with a lazy river and two 12-ft. waterslides or laze away at the indoor Lay-z Rivah, in addition to an outdoor pool and lounge deck. The hotel also offers a seasonal (and complimentary) Splash Kamp experience (suitable for toddlers to tweens), as well as a 48-seat movie theater – ensuring plenty of fun to be had away from the sun too. Each of the hotel’s 238 oceanfront guest rooms and suites are conveniently equipped with a microwave, mini fridge, HD television and private balcony.
Nearby, at the Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront comfort, convenience and coastal enjoyment are at the forefront of the hotel’s amenities. Situated on the North End of the Virginia Beach Boardwalk, each of the hotel’s 167 oceanfront guest rooms – including 24 Deluxe Family Suites designed with families’ needs in mind – boast private balconies. Additionally, guests have access to a sun deck with panoramic ocean views, an indoor pool, an outdoor pool and two family-friendly oceanfront restaurants with outdoor and indoor seating.
Charming Bed & Breakfasts
Those guests looking for a cozy, charming and coastal-inspired stay will find some darling spots among the locals at these Virginia Beach bed-and-breakfasts.
Barclay Cottage has been welcoming guests to Virginia Beach since 1917, earning it numerous awards for hospitality excellence. Situated within close walking distance to the Virginia Beach oceanfront but away from the hustle and bustle of the Boardwalk, Barclay Cottage provides a restful and inspiring stay in an Victorian-inspired home-away-from-home environment. Guests enjoy complimentary beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella, bicycles and a fresh-made multi-course breakfast each morning, of course!
Just one block away from the beach, Angie’s Guest Cottage provides a cozy stay steeped in Virginia Beach history. Housed within a 1900s house once used to accommodate the families of surfmen stationed at the U.S. Coast Guard Station (now a beloved museum on 24th Street) during the summer months. After the cottage became a private home, the real “Angie” purchased it and began welcoming overnight guests. The Yates family acquired the historic home in 1978 and created the lodging experience that exists today in the main house, providing guests with a cozy, coastal-inspired and distinctly charming and hospitable stay.
Luxury Resorts
If your visit to the beach requires a little something extra, Virginia Beach will surely provide you with a luxurious retreat at which to rest and indulge yourself.
The historic Cavalier Hotel & Beach Club has stood sentinel over the Virginia Beach Oceanfront for nearly a century. Perched on a grassy hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Virginia’s most iconic hotel – reimagined in 2018 and now a distinguished member of Marriott’s Autograph Collection – provides a glamorous and timeless backdrop for a truly unforgettable stay in one of its 85 guest rooms. Guests enjoy a long list of luxury amenities – from a classic indoor “splash pool” and access to a private beach club, to world-class restaurants and a full-service spa.
Part of The Cavalier Resort, the Marriott Virginia Beach Oceanfront and the brand new Embassy Suites Virginia Beach Oceanfront Resort, situated just off the Virginia Beach Boardwalk, provide exceptional amenities in an oceanfront location just across the street from its sister hotel, The Cavalier. Guests can enjoy an array of exceptional amenities, including adjacent indoor/outdoor pools, 24-hour fitness center and spacious landscaped grounds with bocce ball, fire pits and terraces just footsteps away from the sand, as well as rooftop dining and access to a private beach club.
