About this property

Boutique Hotel Room above The Jefferson Theater on the Downtown Mall

The Jeff is a boutique hotel and private oasis located on Charlottesville's historic Downtown Mall. Nestled above the world famous Jefferson Theater, you'll find sleek spaces, soaring archways, and subtle luxury with a rock and roll edge. Once you're inside these soundproof walls the world recedes like a dream – until you're ready to emerge, refreshed, with the heart if the city on your doorstep.

Jeff Suite 201: Mall-facing! Each room is individually furnished with a distinct personality. Think effortless cool, creamy suede, and desert colors with pops of quirky humor. To ensure privacy and true getaway vibes, The Jeff was designed to be entirely self-service (no front desk or need for check-in). Upon booking, you will receive a unique code that gives you access to your room.

The Jeff Hotel Suites feature a luxurious, custom-made king bed - perfect to settle down in after a hard day's rockin', two flat screen TVs, and a seating area with an additional sofa bed and large windows overlooking the Downtown Mall. A Marshall amp speaker is provided to kick back and enjoy your favorite tunes. Each room is equipped with a wet bar, mini-fridge, Nespresso machine. Our spacious en-suite bathrooms boast high ceilings, skylights, and walk-in showers.

Being on a pedestrian mall the hotel has no on-site parking, but we think that having C'ville's most popular bars, restaurants and music venues mere steps away is a great trade-off!

•Hair dryer

Weekend Stay in Cville

First the good. The location of the property is great. It is right in the middle of the pedestrian mall. Lots of good stores and restaurants with walking distance. The property was clean and spacious. Now the bad. The refrigerator did not work. If you wanted to keep anything cold, you were out of luck. The ice machine in the hall was a joke. It dispensed tiny little cubes that wouldn't fill up a small glass. Would I stay terre again? I think I would look for something better.

Nice room and amenities. The view of the walking mall, little kitchen and huge shower were great. The rooms begin on floor 2 so there are lots of stairs but we planned for it by using a smaller suitcase. The entry is subtle and right next to the box office. We came out to go to the concert at The Jefferson Theatre and the box office staff asked the patron to move over so that we could come out. (very nice!) Parking is off site and less than a crosstown block in NYC. The downside is there is only one parking pass so if you have plans to explore outside of the downtown area you'll pay for parking. However, parking is super affordable (paid $12 for ~ 24 hours). Suite room 201 has a super comfortable King size bed but one side of the bed is against the wall. Therefore there is only one side table. There are no tissues in the room so we bought some. There are no paper or hand towels in the kitchen area which was weird so we used a bathroom hand towel. We never saw any staff and assumed our room wouldn't be serviced for our short 2 day stay but were surprised to find fresh towels on the bed when we returned. This is a nice hotel option if you like to park the car and walk to dinner/drinks/entertainment at night after a day of exploring the area.

Cool and Convenient Accomodations

We came for a show at the Ting Pavilion, which made this boutique hotel an excellent place to stay. We could park in the garage and then walk to any place we needed to go, and no need to battle the traffic after the concert. The decor was fun, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was sleek with its large walk-in shower. We will definitely consider staying here on our next visit to Cville.

Perfect location, adorable room!

The location could not be more perfect for a lovely weekend in downtown Charlottesville. The roomThe bed was super comfy and the bathroom was clean. Our only complaint would have been the air quality. The room smelled musty, like mildew and the windows do not open.

Amazing location!

Easy check in and super simple check out. The location was amazing, right in the middle of the market area. The walk from the parking garage was exactly 3 minutes and was simple to do even with loads of luggage. The description was exact, included tips, and realistic expectations, like the stairs leading to our unit. The unit was well equpped, modern amenities and super clean. we will definitely stay here again.

Sister Trip

The Jefferson Hotel was nicely appointed, quiet and comfortable. Conveniently located on Charlottesville’s downtown mall, we were able to sample several great restaurants as well as pick up some nice souvenirs at local shops. It was also centrally located so that we could visit wineries as well as the historic sites. Loved it!
