Guest Rooms and Suites Descriptions
 |
Historic Rosemont Manor has twelve elegantly appointed suites and guest rooms, each distinctly decorated in its own eclectic style and featuring a host of amenities designed to cater to your every comfort. Each of our suite and guest room names are inspired by Rosemont’s rich legacy of hosting many famous political and historical figures.
All accommodations include a full Virginia breakfast the following morning, served in our Rosemont Room or in the Sun Room with views of the East Lawn and the Fountain. We offer a number of different selections, from decadently sweet to melt-in-your-mouth savory, and we can accommodate any dietary restrictions you may have (but please let us know in advance).
Our room rates are always based on single or double occupancy. We do have several adjoining guest suites that, when reserved together, are perfect for families or friends traveling together. However, please be aware that, due to fire regulations, the use of air mattresses or cots is not permitted in any of our guest rooms.
Between late March and early November, a two night minimum stay on weekends and certain holidays may be required. Give us a call and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
