UVA Darden Boutique Hotel
Construction of a boutique hotel at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business Grounds in Charlottesville, Virginia, is underway!
The new, cutting-edge hotel will serve as an inspiring destination offering an outstanding hospitality, education and conference experience to alumni, students and guests visiting Darden, UVA or the Charlottesville area.
An Inside Look at What Awaits
Darden invites you to explore the many images and renderings on this page that showcase what this beautiful new addition to Grounds will look like upon completion in 2023.
The new boutique hotel will create an unparalleled community experience. The facilities will seek the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. Adjacent to the hotel is the beautifully designed arboretum and botanical gardens — a natural green space that will connect the Darden Grounds, UVA School of Law Grounds and the Rivanna Trail.
Generous donors can support the completion of a world-class resource for the greater Darden and UVA communities for those important stakeholders and distinguished guests from around the world.

“ The new hotel will completely transform how Darden supports the community to ensure it remains a top-ranked business school. ”
