Welcome to Dover Hall, Central Virginia's Premier Destination for Unrivaled Events, Boutique Lodging, and Thoughtful Cuisine. Conveniently located just minutes from Short Pump and equidistant between Richmond and Charlottesville, this 38,000 square foot castle sits on 55 rolling acres. Originally built as a private residence in 1996, a local interior design team was hired to source the vast majority of all décor, paintings, fireplace mantels, and furnishings from European estates and auctions.
Offering private event space for up to 400 guests, this all-inclusive venue makes planning your next event seamless and stress-free. You may also enjoy a wide variety of events open to the public including murder mystery dinners, holiday brunches, wine dinners, princess parties, and more.
To enhance your Dover Hall experience, consider an overnight stay in a variety of elegantly appointed and spacious lodging suites, each with a unique décor theme. During your stay, guests may enjoy use of the entire home and a variety of activities including a premium glass of wine in the Wine Cellar, a game of pool in the Billiards Room, a quiet read in the two story Library, soft piano music in the Great Room, or a refreshing dip in the Reflecting Pool.
