Virginia holidays - Resorting - The Founders Inn - Brief Article

Travel America, Nov-Dec, 2003

From the Grand Illumination over Thanksgiving weekend to Breakfast with Santa and a Gala New Year's Eve Dinner, holidays are a tradition at The Founders Inn in Virginia Beach. And a festive "Holiday Getaway Package" adds to the merriment of the season. Beginning at just $110 a night (depending on length of stay), the packages include deluxe accommodations and can be upgraded to include breakfast, a seasonal dinner buffet or traditional holiday dinner, shopping at nearby MacArthur Center, and tickets and free shuttle service to holiday performances such as "The Nutcracker" and "Colonial Christmas."

Located between the Virginia Beach resort area and Colonial Williamsburg, The Founders Inn is close to all the region's holiday excitement yet far enough away to unwind and get away from it all.

Boasting Old World decor accented by beautiful furnishings and antiques, The Founders Inn offers fine amenities and award-winning cuisine. The 240 guest rooms and suites overlook 26 landscaped acres twinkling with the lights of the season. The inn has an indoor pool and fitness center and three restaurants.
