DINING & LODGING

Where to Stay

With its signature architecture and vibrant, compact downtown, Staunton, Virginia offers many wonderful options for lodging during your visit. And situated at the crossroads of Interstates 81 and 64, Staunton also has numerous chain hotels within a few minutes drive of downtown. We recommend a more personal experience by staying in the heart of downtown, where everything (including all Festival concerts) are a short walk away. Early planning is encouraged as lodging downtown books fast.
