Hilton Richmond Downtown - A historic department store reimagined with Italian dining, craft beer lounge, and downtown landmarks

Located in the former Miller and Rhoads department store, a 100-year-old iconic building, this 4-star Richmond hotel stands at the intersection of 5th and East Broad Streets. The Hilton Richmond Downtown features three distinct dining venues: La Grotta serving authentic Northern Italian cuisine, Gather & Hem lounge offering 20 local craft beers on tap and cocktails, and 1885 Café & Market presenting regional dishes. Guest rooms come equipped with refrigerators, iPod docking stations, flat-screen TVs with cable channels, coffee makers, and safes, while suites add seating areas and city views. Live musical entertainment occurs every Thursday and Friday at Gather & Hem. The property maintains a 24-hour business center, fitness facility, and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout. Positioned within 0.5 miles of the Greater Richmond Convention Center, Virginia State Capitol, and Jackson Ward, the hotel connects to three self-serve parking lots managed by the City of Richmond. Richmond International Airport lies 12.5 miles from the property.

Pros

La Grotta restaurant holds the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Live entertainment performances twice weekly

Located within 0.3 miles of eight different restaurants

Corner suites provide panoramic city views

Cons

Airport is 12.5 miles away

Parking available only in adjacent city-managed lots

“This hotel has an enviable downtown location, enhanced by its roots as a historic department store. I particularly appreciate the award-winning Italian restaurant on-site, though some areas, like the pool, could use refreshing, and the room service presentation needs improvement. Overall, it's a solid choice for those wanting to explore Richmond's attractions and dining.”
