Just as its name implies, Virginia Beach is well-known for fun in the sun. Most notably is its three-mile-long boardwalk that runs along the beach, where you’ll find family fun, waterfront dining, and plenty of entertainment. Many hotels line the boardwalk, placing their guests right in the heart of everything that makes this the perfect beach destination. Read on for five boutique hotels that will have you front and center to all that Virginia Beach has to offer.
The Suite Life
At the The Barclay Towers Resort Hotel, every guest can enjoy a suite overlooking the ocean, along with a private balcony where you can enjoy the salty breeze. Each room contains a king bed, a sofa bed, a refrigerator, a microwave, a coffee maker, a stove, an oven, and place settings for four. In addition, guests may enjoy a free deluxe continental breakfast every morning. When you’re ready for an outdoor adventure, simply step outside and stroll down the boardwalk.
Oceanfront Retreat
Slated to become the Four Points by Sheraton Virginia Beach Oceanfront in August 2016, Surfside Oceanfront Inn and Suites welcomes visitors to sit back and relax in their own oceanfront guest rooms. In addition to a great view, every guest can enjoy a private balcony, mini refrigerator, microwave, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel also has its own restaurant, fitness center, bike rental facility, and free parking.
Colorful Escape
Sporting a wall of color on the beachfront side of the property, the Best Western Plus Sandcastle Beachfront Hotel provides everything visitors look for in a vacation hotel. The Best Western boasts oceanfront rooms, private balconies, a restaurant that serves complimentary breakfast each day, an indoor heated swimming pool, a fitness center, and free parking. The hotel is located right on the boardwalk, so guests can head out for a bike ride, grab an ice cream cone, or go to the beach for a day of sun and surf.
Home Away from Home
Visitors looking for more than just a standard hotel room will find what they’re looking for at Turtle Cay by Diamond Resorts. Every suite includes a full kitchen or kitchenette, a gas fireplace, an oversized bathroom with a jetted tub, a private balcony, and a washer and dryer. Resort amenities include two swimming pools, two hot tubs, free internet access, and free parking.

With its grand Georgian architecture, the Founders Inn invites you to step back in time yet still enjoy the modern luxuries that discerning guests expect. The hotel also features an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor pool, a spa, a fitness center, and two restaurants. Guests can enjoy the lovely water view at the property’s beautiful lake.
