The Inn at Little Washington

The Inn at Little Washington has turned an improbably small Virginia town into one of America’s great culinary pilgrimages. Pattern, antiques, rich fabrics, fireplaces, gardens, and individually designed spaces create the sense of staying in an eccentric private country house, with accommodations spread across several restored buildings. Chef Patrick O’Connell’s dining room has shaped the inn’s reputation for decades, combining refined American cooking, an extraordinary wine program, and highly choreographed service in a setting that treats dinner as the main event.
