Keswick Hall in Charlottesville, Va., has been accepted into the Legend Collection by Preferred Hotels & Resorts.
Originally built in 1912, the 80-room property is close to more than 30 vineyards. The resort’s design aims to evoke the ambiance of grand Southern estates. It is located near the Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, the University of Virginia and a collection of orchards, breweries and wineries.
Other highlights of the property include a championship Pete Dye-designed golf course, a full-service spa and fitness center and a variety of year-round recreational offerings such as tennis, pickleball and two outdoor pools.
“We are proud to join Preferred Hotels & Resorts and stand alongside some of the world’s most exceptional independent luxury properties,” Louis Shapazian, general manager of Keswick Hall, said in a statement. “Set in the heart of Virginia’s Piedmont region and surrounded by more than 30 vineyards, Keswick Hall offers a distinct sense of place rooted in history and natural beauty. With our thoughtfully restored estate, exceptional dining at Marigold by Jean-Georges and a full suite of resort-style amenities, we are honored to welcome guests seeking refined comfort and authentic experiences in one of America’s most storied landscapes.”
“Joining Preferred Hotels & Resorts marks an exciting new chapter for Keswick Hall,” Molly Hardie, owner of Keswick Hall, added. “From the very beginning, our vision has been to create a destination that honors the natural beauty and cultural richness of Virginia while offering a world-class hospitality experience.”
