Expansive Georgian Resort with Colonial Period Décor
With its orderly rows of windows and symmetrical chimneys, The Founders Inn and Spa's stately exterior references Georgian architecture, a style named after the four Georges who ruled 18th-century England. The resort's interior, however, pays tribute to one of the biggest thorns in the side of the third King George—colonial America. Oil paintings of the Founding Fathers peer out from gilded frames, and colonial-era furnishings sit around roaring fireplaces. The hotel is on the grounds of and owned by Regent University, a Christian school founded in 1978 by evangelical broadcaster Pat Robertson, who remains its chancellor.
The resort continues the historical theme throughout its guest accommodations, as the Colonial rooms and the Founders junior suite feature throwback quilts atop two- or four-poster beds. The junior suite includes a gas fireplace beside the seating area, giving its scene an old-timey ambiance.
Bacon-wrapped Virginia beef, pork belly with local peaches, and other colonial-inspired dishes send taste buds back in time at the award-winning Swan Terrace, one of two onsite restaurants. The following morning, the same space holds a breakfast smorgasbord, with linen-draped tables stretching outside onto the brick-inlay terrace. Nearby, the Flowering Almond Spa’s hot tub and relaxing body treatments soothe muscles sore from arm-wrestling redcoats.
Hampton Roads, Virginia: Naval Center Near Virginia Beach
The inn is located on the outskirts of Regent University in an area noted for its proud naval history and proximity to the Atlantic. Just north of the inn, the Naval Station Norfolk's piers and aircraft hangars form one of the world’s largest naval complexes. Navy personnel lead bus tours and harbor cruises and narrate details of the station's battleships, submarines, and elite squadrons of rubber duckies.
To the east, the 3-mile Virginia Beach boardwalk meanders past public statuary, grassy park areas, and a fishing pier. Throughout the year, the boardwalk’s bike lane and walking path accommodate a steady stream of wave watchers.
