The Spotlight on The Founders Inn and Spa Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Colonial Charm and Modern Comfort Near the Virginia Beach Music Scene

A blend of historic elegance and contemporary amenities, The Founders Inn and Spa Tapestry Collection by Hilton offers a serene escape just a short drive from Virginia Beach’s top concert venues. With gorgeous landscaped grounds, a full-service spa, and both indoor and seasonal outdoor pools, this hotel gives you the perfect balance of relaxation and convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located about 16 miles from the beach and boardwalk, the hotel offers a shuttle service during summer months, making it easier to catch live shows along the coast. Rooms are well-equipped with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and coffee makers—ideal for winding down after a high-energy night. While it's set in a quieter area away from the downtown buzz, it’s still close enough to reach key venues and nightlife by car or rideshare. Check-in starts at 4:00 PM, giving you time to freshen up before an evening show.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends who want a stylish yet laid-back place to stay
Solo travelers heading to see a bucket-list artist
Couples looking to turn concert night into a weekend getaway
Fans who want some peace and quiet after the encore
Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality and comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your morning (or afternoon!) with a hearty breakfast at The Swan Terrace Restaurant, known for its classic Colonial dishes. For a more casual bite, The Hunt Room serves up traditional American fare—perfect for a pre-show dinner. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the on-site options and nearby restaurants make it easy to fuel up before or after your event.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself leans more toward tranquility than parties, it's only a quick drive to downtown Norfolk or the Virginia Beach boardwalk, where you'll find bars, clubs, and lounges buzzing with post-show energy. If you’re in the mood to keep it low-key, enjoy a drink at the hotel bar or stroll the beautiful grounds.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the beautiful landscaping and peaceful atmosphere, making it a relaxing base after a busy night. The hotel’s clean, spacious rooms and friendly staff also get high marks. Many reviewers appreciate the on-site spa as a hidden gem for post-concert recovery.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is a bit far from the beach and main concert venues, so having a car or using rideshare is key. A few travelers mentioned that room décor could use a refresh, but most still found their stays comfortable and charming.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a peaceful, elegant stay with easy access to Virginia Beach’s live music and nightlife, this hotel hits the right note.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Hannah, Gloucester, VA Tue, 9 September 2014

They charged a random one dollar to my card and 25$ for "missing cards" that they did not inform me needed to be turned in. Our door did not lock - we would close it and it just needed to be pushed and it'd open. It's a very old hotel and not for young adults. They also accused us of smoking in the room and charged an additional $159 for a smoke smell in the room. However we did not smoke in the room. A smoke smell stays on clothes and will linger a bit but nobody actually smoked inside the room and I was charged. My experience was very bad with my very short stay there. The cab ride was $25 one way to Farm Bureau Live. Thank you for reading.

Liked: Was 8 miles from Farm Bureau Live.
Disliked: When I was checking out they did not ask for or tell me that the card keys would cost $5 extra per card if they were not turned in. The bathrooms were small and only two towels were supplied.

Sam, Richmond, visiting Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater at Virginia Beach Mon, 28 July 2014

Liked: If you're going to a concert, it is a good price for how close it is to the venue (Farm Bureau Live).
Disliked: Front desk was nice, but reservation department failed to call me back several times and was overall difficult to work with.

Beware of hidden fees!

Liked: Beautiful location, clean, restaurant and bar on location.
Disliked: We have stayed at Founders on three prior trips with our cat. On this fourth stay, we were stopped in the hall after we checked in and questioned about the competition of the pet policy. No one has ever required it or asked if we had a pet during any of our check-ins. We did go to the front desk and completed the form. It stated a $75 fee, but the desk worker said not to worry; the fee is already included. Surprise when we checked out and were charged $80!! It isn't right to charge us after we checked in and unpacked. Had we known, we would have found another hotel. We won't stay there again and I plan to write a formal complaint to Hilton.
