Share Your Story- Warm Biscuits with Orange Marmalade

When I was a young boy in Richmond, VA in the 1950's and early 60's our family would have a week of summer vacation at the Chamberlin Hotel and we would go to Fort Monroe (across the street) and Buckroe Beach on the Chesapeake Bay. I would love to have breakfast in the glorious main dining room, overlooking Hampton Rhodes, and Lester was our waiter year after year. Oh, the biscuits with butter and orange marmalade. I miss those times.........

PUTTING ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES


Much progress has been made! Many of the contractors have finished their work and we are close to the finish line of a two year restoration. The restored 'terrazzo' floors in the historic grand lobby turned out beautifully! In addition to the grand lobby, The Chamberlin offers many beautiful common areas for waterfront dining, leisure, recreation and so much more! Interior designers will soon be placing elaborate furnishings and accessories, giving the special 'finishing touches' in time for our June opening.
