Williamsburg, Va.: Where History Meets Hospitality for Meetings

Located in Virginia’s renowned Historic Triangle, Williamsburg blends centuries of American heritage with the modern amenities today’s meeting planners expect. Conveniently positioned 150 miles south of Washington, D.C., and nestled between Richmond and Virginia Beach, Williamsburg is a destination that’s both easy to reach and hard to forget. Traveling to Williamsburg is seamless. The area is served by three regional airports—Norfolk International (ORF), Richmond International (RIC), and Newport News/Williamsburg International (PHF)—while Amtrak delivers passengers directly into the heart of downtown from anywhere along the Northeast Corridor or points south. Once on the ground, free trolleys and shuttles make it easy for attendees to navigate the city’s charming streets and surrounding attractions.

When it comes to hosting events, Williamsburg delivers with more than 7,000 sleeping rooms and 200,000 square feet of flexible meeting space. Planners can choose from stately historic hotels, contemporary conference resorts with golf and spa, waterfront venues, or even a storied downtown theater. Whether organizing a corporate retreat, a trade show, an incentive program, or more, Williamsburg offers a wide variety of settings to suit any group’s style, needs, and budget. Ask about our Meeting Incentive Plan; booking your event in Williamsburg comes with exclusive perks, such as: custom welcome bags filled with local favorites and keepsakes, coupon books packed with discounts, financial grants to help offset planning costs, dedicated planning support to enhance your historic gathering, and marketing support to promote your event and attract attendees.

The destination’s culinary scene is as diverse as it is impressive. From immersive 18th-century tavern experiences in Colonial Williamsburg to chef-driven restaurants serving elevated takes on steak, seafood, and global cuisine, Williamsburg offers memorable dining for every group. Tap into the region’s vibrant craft beverage scene with stops at Instagram-worthy coffee houses, local breweries, or a 300-acre winery steeped in history and scenic beauty.

Of course, Williamsburg is perhaps best known for its unparalleled historical attractions. Williamsburg offers iconic sites and immersive experiences that explore the country’s origin story, illuminating the past and present. Attendees can step back in time on a fascinating journey at Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown Settlement, and the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown—ideal for offsite experiences and teambuilding activities. History is only the beginning. Beyond the historic sites, discover a collection of award-winning golf courses, enriching attractions, outdoor adventures on land and water, boutique shopping, and theme park fun at Busch Gardens® Williamsburg.

Despite its national significance and robust infrastructure, Williamsburg maintains a small-town warmth and accessibility that make it a standout in the Southeast’s meetings landscape. Offering tremendous value and a personalized approach, Williamsburg helps planners create impactful, engaging events that resonate long after the closing session.

For meetings that combine convenience, character, and unforgettable experiences, Williamsburg invites you to meet where history lives and hospitality leads the way.
