About this property
The Townsman: Meriwether Room
Inspired by a sense of adventure and yet grounded with a modern, Southern elegance, the Meriwether Room, located on the second floor and is parking/alley facing, lets you know you've arrived at a highlight of your travels. (**Please note the Townsman is currently undergoing a "refresh" ready Feb 1st 2025. So there may be some furnishings, fixtures or other minor adjustments from the existing photos. New photos will be uploaded soon!**) This exceptionally styled room is situated in Townsman Hotel. It is unlike your typical hotel. That's why we call it the 'unhotel'. Poised just above or in the middle of Charlottesville's bustling and historical Downtown Mall or the walking mall packed with restaurants, bars, shops, and more. It is in between Mudhouse Coffee and Rockfish Brewing Company, with no staff and no front desk, which feels like a well-kept secret right in the center of all the action. Instead of charging you for things you'll never use, we've pared ourselves down to the essentials: an incredible location; four uniquely-designed rooms; and great prices. Once you book with us, a personal code will be provided for access and all you have to do is show up. No check-in. No hassles. Along with an exclusive access to a nearby business and social space, as we've partnered with the Common House, which is free for our guests.
Explore the greater Charlottesville area and discover some of the best places to dine, shop, relax, and do a variety of activities such as hiking, biking, shopping, enchanting night life, and navigating through historical sites such as Thomas Jefferson's home of Monticello and the well-known Rotunda, all right below your feet. Start your day with breakfast at The Nook, enjoy wine tastings at local vineyards, and dine at The Alley Light with options for post-dinner drinks or dancing. You may also grab coffee and a workout before relaxing at Halo Salt Spa, enjoy lunch at Citizen Burger Bar, take a self-guided brewery tour, and wrap up with dinner at the Dairy Market and a nightcap at Miller's.
