Need Recs: Long Weekend in Virginia w/ luxury hotel or inn featuring gluten-free fare
Have a weekend gap between work in Richmond and D.C., so looking to spend a long weekend somewhere in the commonwealth (or a short one-way flight away)... but need a luxury hotel or inn with dedicated gluten-free options. Any known destinations or luxury hotels for a getaway who cater beyond a few GF marked items on a menu would be ideal. Thanks for any suggestions.

I attended a Tea at the Peninsula Hotel In Beverly Hills this weekend and one guest asked our waiter if her sandwiches and pastries and scones were available gluten free as that was not listed on the menu. The waiter said that they had a chef dedicated to making all of those items gluten free. |
You'd need to check on the restaurant's ability to meet your gluten-free needs, but I'd suggest you look into The Inn at Little Washington. It has a great reputation in the area, and the restaurant is consistently rated among the top tables in the DC/Northern Virginia area.

The Inn at Perry Cabin
|
Look at The Salamander...... not the most upscale but an easy drive from DC, close to the sites and from memory the chef has a certain panache for gluten free. Assuming it is still the same chef that was there 4 or 5 years ago.

Not sure about Gluten Free but the Inn at Willow Grove looks nice...
honestly with the weather warming up the FS Baltimore is a nice option... because you know, Baltimore... you get used to it.... FDW |

Also can look at Keswick Hall or Omni Homestead. Both would be much more on your way from Richmond to DC.
I've never stayed at Omni Homestead, but have wanted to. They don't allow pets so we haven't been there. But supposed to be nice. Keswick Hall is just outside of Charlottesville, so pretty close to Richmond. Its great, a nice older property with only ~50 rooms. Several pools, a nice Pete Dye golf course if you are a fellow golfer, and a great restaurant. Not sure about gluten free, can check with them. But we love this property and go there a couple times a year. Close to Charlottesville so can go there, do horseback riding, wine/cider tasting, etc. Highly recommended. Inn at Willow Grove is also nearby as well, a little closer to DC. Never been, gets great reviews. On my list. Inn at Perry Cabin is quite nice, the restaurant is amazing. Its going to be farther out of the way for you, but not unreasonable. To get there, essentially have to get to the DC beltway and then go east for about 1.5 hrs, maybe more if traffic bad over Bay Bridge. Unless you want to go south to Norfolk and cross over to the eastern shore and drive up. The property is iconic and recognizable from a couple films. The rooms are fine. The pool is small and not a lot of on property amenities, but walkable to the town of St. Michaels which is nice. The restaurant at the property is excellent. Again, would check with them for gluten free options. My understanding is that Inn at Little Washington has really amazing food, but not much to do. From those I've spoken to, its great for a night but get bored really quickly. There are several other smaller properties in Virginia as well that I've had on my list to check out. But my wife and I always decide to go to Keswick or Inn at Perry Cabin because we like them. |
