The Historic Cavalier Hotel and Beach Club Autograph Collection

Amazing experience!! Facility was gorgeous and amenities were phenomenal. Dinner in the Hunt Room was to die for. We were able to tour the distillery, drink and dance on-site with live music, walk on the beach in moonlight, and relax in the hot tub all in one fantastic evening. Will do again!!!

First time in Virginia Beach. This location is beautiful. Love the history of the hotel. We stayed on property the entire time. Every detail is perfect. We loved the indoor pool and the quick walk to the oceanside pool and beach access. Checking in was so easy thanks to Nerissa.

Problem with the heat in the common areas for the 6 days that we were there. We had to wear a jacket in the lobby, bar and restaurant area. Valet app didn't work. Staff worked around these issues and were very helpful. Very beautiful hotel.

Beautifully restored historic hotel, wonderful hospitality and five star service. Nice Beach Club and pool, and the restaurant, Becca, was very good. We will return!

They will charge you $30 bucks every time you pull your car in and out of the garage beware

Excellent service! Amenities such as the beach club were excellent. Loved the live music!

Hotel is beautifully restored and well maintained and it has great amenities, most notably its beachfront pool and restaurant. Staff for the most part was excellent, with just a couple of exceptions. Restaurant was excellent, and daily events fun for those who chose to participate.

Incredibly expensive once you factor in lots of extra fees, such as a resort fee, (even in the off season when you can't use the pool or other extra amenities near the beach), onsite parking at $32/day, and no streaming services were available for guests, movies were $20 and the only thing available. The worst part was the live music that apparently happens every Thursday night until 11, and had our second floor room shaking until I finally called and complained. (If there's live music request a room on the third floor or up.) I was very disappointed overall with the experience.

Historic structure and facilities was very cool... Especially the lounge and tavern areas. Smartly updated, but kept the core old school feel.

This hotel was amazing overall. We visited in June 2025 and they were having clear AC issues in the main lobby and lobby bar areas as it was very hot, but overall a great hotel

Wonderful place. So classic and friendly. The staff all very friendly, very clean and organized rooms, and not too much noise at nights. Perfect gateaway with your family. Most evening tea and coffee would be served in the lobby

We planned a special trip to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Our stay did not disappoint - the facility is beautiful, very clean, and the staff is amazing. We ate dinner and breakfast at Becca - food and service was impeccable. We enjoyed the Distillery tour and the history of the hotel is very interesting.

Great place to stay. Renovated, clean, friendly, well organized.

My stay was only 15 hours and it was terrible. The room I was given was 50 degrees and the HVAC did not work. Rather than giving me a room (as I was in a hurry to get to a dinner) they insisted on sending an engineer. This took much time and he simply confirmed that it was broken. At this point I made Four calls to the front desk before I could get them to provide me with another room. The second room smelled like mildew but I was now late for an event and did not have time to again change rooms. I returned late in the evening and when walking in the carpet found that a 3 food area in diameter was sopping wet from a leak. I also found that one of the two sinks did not drain and actually had 3 inches of water in it. The next morning I discovered that the closet area also had wet floors and that all of my clothing now smelled like mildew. Prior to checking out I called the front desk and told them I wanted to speak to a manger at check-out. The manager was not pleasant and said the most they could do was waive the parking fee ($34 savings on a stay room rate of well over $500). At check out I was in a rush to get to a funeral and called later in the day. After three calls and messages, nobody ever got back to me to discuss how they could make things right.

We stayed for a special birthday surprise. All was great ! Hotels was up to date and spotless. From the friendly valets to the smiling waitresses , all was just great. Will visit again

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this extraordinary hotel, which truly exceeded my expectations in every way. The opulent atmosphere evoked the grandeur of The Great Gatsby, with stunningly beautiful and immaculately clean facilities. The staff were exceptional, displaying impeccable manners, respect, and warmth. Our family had the trip of a lifetime, and I would eagerly return to relive the experience. Without a doubt, this hotel has set a new standard for excellence in my eyes.

check-in took 30 minutes... long line and only 1 person working. both bathroom sinks were stopped up. had to wait 1 1/2 hrs for maintenance to clear. otherwise great.

Cleanliness, professionalism of staff

One at least one occasion the room was partially cleaned … towels not folded, bed made, food tray not removed… shower floor towel not replaced, etc.

Very clean room, nice amenities, helpful staff

I had not been to the Cavalier since 1970 when I was a little girl. Back then there were hardly any buildings or houses around the Cavalier. All I remember was the view of the Atlantic Ocean and what seemed like a hill in which The Cavalier was built. Today the views are very different and the renovation is exquisite! I look forward to the centennial in 2027!

Absolutely loved the stay. We were taken care of from beginning to end. Staff, food, service, private beach club, beach transit, decor, cleanliness… the list goes on and on. While certainly more affordable options, this was by far the best experience.

Beautiful suite!

The furniture in the suite was not very comfortable and was questionable for cleanliness. Someone was able to access the door lock at 10:00pm but luckily the door latch was in place and prevented full intrusion. Otherwise a fine stay.

The Cavalier is an amazing place any time of the year. Great food at a variety of prices on site a fun lobby bar and the rooms are a nice size

This hotel is lovely. We loved our elegant and charming room and public spaces!

First time staying. Just joined friends for a celebration overnight. Loved the food and service. Great room with a view. Will definitely return for a longer stay.

Lovely hotel and it was very convenient as the wedding we were attending was also at the property. Check-in was great. Nick was very attentive and offered us a welcome glass of sparking wine and showed us to the elevator. He had also arranged for our Tesla to be charged overnight as it needed to be charged for our return home the next morning (more on that later because it was NOT charged overnight). Room was tastefully decorated and clean. Amenities were nice and large shower had wonderful water pressure. Bed was a little too firm for our liking and there was no blackout curtains so we were awake bright and early at 7am! The room was very quiet though - didn't hear any other guests. Although we were thankful that our room was ready at 3pm, there no restaurants/cafes open for even a small bite to eat. We were told that it opened at 4pm (which is their usual check-in time - which is a little late given our experience with other hotels). We ended up eating some very expensive chips and nuts from the mini bar in our room. The wedding started at 5pm and food wouldn't be served until about 6pm for cocktail hour. I had to eat something after drinking a glass of sparkling wine on an empty stomach. Anyway, turndown service was very nice. Real problem began when we woke up much earlier than we had intended too but it actually was fortunate that we did since they had neglected to charge our Tesla overnight!!! Front desk did not pick up the phone. Brian, at checkout, not good!

What really sets places apart this day and time is the service. Staff was absolutely top notch. Would love to stay again in the future.

It was amazing. Everyone from valet parking to checking out went above and beyond.

check-in took 30 minutes... long line and only 1 person working. both bathroom sinks were stopped up. had to wait 1 1/2 hrs for maintenance to clear. otherwise great.

I booked my stay in August and was excited since I am a local and have never stayed at the Cavalier. We were attending the Bourbon Invitational so it was the perfect excuse. 30 minutes before arrival, I received a call from the front desk manager indicating they were overbooked and had to cancel my reservation. I booked this is AUGUST, it is now NOVEMBER, HOW DID I GET BUMPED OUT OF MY ROOM?!! They offered me a stay across the street and a "full refund" plus parking expenses as compensation for the inconvenience. It was a nice gesture but I was very disappointed. We stayed at the Marriot across the street and it was nice despite getting shifted hotels. NOW THE FUN PART.... the refund...... It has taken me 6 calls and many follow-up emails for my refund but they won't refund the resort fee and taxes..... so much for fully compensated due to their error. It is a beautiful hotel but because of such crappy management and booking, I will NEVER STAY THERE.

The hotel is exceptional. Unique in every way. The staff, especially the valet service were outstanding. Be warned however, that reservations are required well in advance for the restaurants. The only issue we had was the response we did not receive upon learning that we had left some clothing behind in the closet. Upon calling, we were told that it would be looked into. To date, we have received no reply back from the staff.

Customer service is non existent. The front desk was SO rude after they gave us wrong keys and then gave us keys to someone else's room! They thrn said they would upgrade us to an oceanview suite for the trouble. However it was not an upgraded room, it was a downgrade from what we paid for! When we went back down to say this was actually a downgrade, the front desk guy said yes it is a suite and an upgrade. I said that we've stayed multiple times in a suite and this was not one. He then said- well I work here everyday and I'm saying it's an upgrade. Toodles! And turns around to leave while I'm still talking. Just overall horrible customer service. And no one apologized for giving us keys to someone else's room. Those people also had no idea thay we were in their room- just not ok overall. This used to be our favorite place to stay but the customer service makes us think otherwise. We ate breakfast in Becca and the amount of flies around, on us and our food constantly, was pretty gross. Just overall not what we've experienced before or expect from the Cavalier. Try the Marriott across the street- Orion's roof was amazing for food and the customer service there was much better!

Made to feel special by the staff! Very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful restaurants with excellent food.

Outstanding staff

The staff was superb with amazing customer service.

Great stay post wedding in Williamsburg. Had a great braised short rib beef dip in the Hunt Room with a nice Old Fashioned cocktail. Celebrated at Orion's Rooftop Top where the view made up for a bit too pricey dinner Would definitely stay again

The Hunt Room was a great place to eat and the staff is excellent hotel-wide.

Beautifully restored historic hotel, wonderful hospitality and five star service. Nice Beach Club and pool, and the restaurant, Becca, was very good. We will return!

A luxury hotel through and through. Don’t recommend Becca though.

While the property was very nice, the greeting staff in the Hunt Room were RUDE!!! And the Raleigh Room was out of wine glasses and the bar tenders could not have cared less! In addition, the waiter in the Raleigh Room insisted on us providing a credit card - when we had been told at checkin we would not need anything besides our "keys" the entire stay - which equates to substandard service. The bar tender in the Becca was wonderful! However, at breakfast in the Becca there were workers doing drilling repair work - not what you expect in a fine dining room.

Great stay post wedding in Williamsburg. Had a great braised short rib beef dip in the Hunt Room with a nice Old Fashioned cocktail. Celebrated at Orion's Rooftop Top where the view made up for a bit too pricey dinner Would definitely stay again
