The Inn at Little Washington

The Inn at Little Washington is the most critically celebrated and culinarily legendary small hotel in the United States, a Patrick O'Connell property in the tiny Virginia village of Washington whose three Michelin stars, Forbes Five-Star designation, and decades of being considered the finest restaurant in America give it a culinary significance and gastronomic prestige that places it among the great destination restaurants of the world and makes a stay here one of the most aspirationally coveted experiences in American hospitality. The Inn's rooms and cottages are themselves beautifully and individually conceived, but it is the restaurant that defines the property's purpose and reputation, and a dinner at O'Connell's table is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the guests fortunate enough to secure a reservation. For planners booking small, ultra-exclusive programs for the most senior and culinarily sophisticated principals in a group, where a dinner at the finest restaurant in America is itself the program's central act, The Inn at Little Washington is without peer in the American market. Similar properties worth benchmarking include Fearrington House in North Carolina and Blackberry Farm in Tennessee.
