Hillbrook Inn

A Country House Hotel in Charles Town, West Virginia 
One Hour from D.C.

Picture a European style country house hotel cascading down a limestone ridge on eight levels, with 2000 panes of glass flooding the interior with light. Imagine the rich patina of old wood, the gleam of polished brass, the deep jewel tones of oriental carpets.

Imagine, too, Flemish oils, African masks, dramatic contemporary sculpture, and a library lined with books. Add the flicker of candles and the warmth of a fire. A love seat. An intimate table for two. A quiet place to be alone together. Gardens bursting with color, a meandering stream and ducks on the pond. The gold of autumn. The beauty of a winter storm. And dinner. Five spectacular courses. Fragrant herbs from the kitchen dooryard; vegetables from a nearby farm. Sophisticated yet unpretentious. Elegant and eclectic!



Circa 1700. This graceful English Tudor inn meanders down the hillside overlooking a pond framed by daffodils and 18 acres of estate grounds that include streams, gardens and wooded walks. The land once belonged to George Washington, and although most of the current structure was built in 1920, construction began in the 1700s. Decorated in a European country house style, the inn is replete with rich dark woods and interesting pieces that demand a lengthy stay to fully enjoy. In 2004 we purchased the Hillbrook Inn, A Country House Hotel. From the moment we drove down the driveway, we fell in love and knew we had to make it an important part of our life. We did not just want to hold this dream for ourselves; we wanted to share it with everyone!
