A Breath of Fresh Air


A place to pause, breathe, and explore, The Griffin Hotel is close to all that Williamsburg has to offer, yet far enough away to provide a true sense of tranquility. Originally constructed as an annex to the Williamsburg Inn, this hotel isn't jumping on the trend of peaceful getaways & mindful travel — it practically invented the blueprint. Come for the ponds, the pickleball, and the pure serenity.

The Origins of The Griffin Hotel

Named in Honor of William & Mary


The Griffin Hotel is named after The William & Mary Tribe's Mascot, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle. Lions represent the British Crown's influence in 18th-century Williamsburg, while the Eagle represents the nation's search for independence and honors the American leaders who lived, worked, and studied in our city. To further reflect the legacy of the historic college, the two wings of our hotel have been named after the school's colors, Green & Gold.
