Travel Note
There isn’t one perfect hotel near the venue, but there are plenty of great lodging options nearby. We recommend staying in the city so you can explore all that Richmond has to offer and have reserved a block of discounted rooms at The Graduate Hotel located at 301 W. Franklin Street. Please use this link to book under our block: https://book.passkey.com/e/51199113. Other great downtown options: Quirk Hotel The Jefferson (All are approximately 28 minutes from the venue.) If you’d prefer to stay between downtown and the venue, we recommend The Westin at 6631 W. Broad Street, approximately 27 minutes from the venue. While it’s less walkable, it’s still conveniently located near plenty of dining and shopping options. Another great option is booking an Airbnb in The Fan or Museum District—both are walkable neighborhoods with lots of restaurants, shops, and things to do. If staying as close to the venue as possible is your priority, consider Ashland, which is about 15–20 minutes away. It has a charming, small downtown area, though there isn’t a lot to do beyond that. *Most lodging options are approximately 20 minutes from Richmond International Airport (RIC).
