Although there are numerous hotels and motels in Williamsburg to accommodate the more than 400,000 annual visitors, there are six official Colonial Williamsburg properties.  Many of the educational programs of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation are subsidized by income from the following, which are also located adjacent to the Historic Area or conveniently accessed by Shuttle Buses. Guests at these hotels also enjoy exclusive tours, special prices on tickets to attractions and special activities for children.  For complete information on the area's attractions, visit the Colonial Williamsburg website, or call 800/HISTORY or 757/229-1000.
