The Founders Inn & Spa Tapestry Collection By Hilton - A Colonial-style resort with spa services, dual pools, and manicured gardens near Regent University

Located 9.5 miles from Norfolk International Airport, this 240-room Virginia Beach hotel blends colonial heritage with modern amenities. The Founders Inn features 25000 square feet of event space, including facilities for weddings with horse-drawn carriages. Two indoor swimming pools, a seasonal outdoor pool with an enclosed waterslide, and the Flowering Almond Spa offering massages and facial treatments serve recreational needs. The Swan Terrace Grill presents choice steaks and locally-sourced seafood in both indoor and outdoor settings, while casual dining options include made-to-order burgers and flatbreads. Guest rooms at the Tapestry Collection property come equipped with flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, and coffee-making facilities. A 30000-square-foot fenced dog park, children's playground, and red brick paths winding through illuminated gardens with fountains complete the grounds. The property maintains a fitness center with modern treadmills, weight machines, and yoga space, plus offers summer shuttle service to the beach.

Pros

Manicured gardens feature twinkling lights, benches, and decorative fountains

Summer beach shuttle service provides convenient transportation

Extensive event facilities include options for horse-drawn carriage ceremonies

Dedicated 30000-square-foot fenced area for pets

Cons

9.5 miles distance from Norfolk International Airport

Outdoor pool and bar operate seasonally only

“The Founders Inn & Spa certainly aims for a grand, colonial-inspired experience, emphasized by its extensive gardens and event spaces. While it appears well-suited for large gatherings and pet owners will appreciate the on-site dog park, some facilities seem to need refreshing. Overall, the inn seems to promise a charming escape with potential for both relaxation and celebration, but it may be wise to inquire about ongoing events during your stay.”
