Meetings & events

Williamsburg’s conference address.

Ballrooms, banquets and about 20,000 square feet of meeting space, steps from campus.

“Hotel and Conference Center” was part of the name, not a flourish. The hotel’s own pages advertised meeting facilities for up to 400 guests, backed by a dedicated sales & catering office and “special events” team — and by the time of the 2013 sale, William & Mary counted roughly 20,000 square feet of conference space.

What it hosted

Directly across from the College of William & Mary and minutes from Colonial Williamsburg, the property spent four decades as a natural venue for academic conferences, alumni reunions, weddings, banquets and corporate retreats. The archived banquet menus — breakfasts through formal dinners — sketch a busy events calendar.

After 2013

When W&M converted the hotel into One Tribe Place, the meeting-and-events era ended; the university cited student housing and parking as the property’s next chapter.
