About West Virginia

The picturesque mountain state of West Virginia is a fantastic destination for eager adventurers and curious history aficionados. Made up of communities tucked within the narrow valleys of the imposing Appalachian Mountains, West Virginia boasts a range of intimate accommodation options, including romantic inns and a family-friendly riverside brewery hotel. Fit for a whole host of tastes and budgets, the best places to stay in West Virginia fuse heritage charm with a love for the great outdoors — perfect for those looking to explore this wild and wonderful state.

The state capital of Charleston sits in the foothills of the Appalachians, and is particularly popular for its delectable fare — make a beeline for this small city if you’re a keen foodie. Lewisburg, on the other hand, is ideal for those looking to unwind amidst spas, galleries, and boutiques, whilst still enjoying top-notch locally sourced fare. If you’re into history, we’d suggest basing yourself in Harpers Ferry, beneath the Blue Ridge Mountains, for the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, or in Parkersburg. The Oil & Gas Museum details the area’s industrial past and the Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park is also fascinating.

You’ll find a state brimming with turbulent Civil War history — best discovered with an expert guide — and mesmerising national beauty. Highlights include striking Blackwater Falls, white water rafting on the New River Gorge National River, or hiking, rock climbing, zip-lining, horse riding and mountain biking in the Appalachian Mountains. Golf courses also abound, with the best being the Greenbrier, in White Sulphur Springs. Whether you’re dreaming of fishing in remote mountain lakes and rivers or strolling the streets of pretty towns, our list of the best places to stay in West Virginia offers lovely bases for memorable trips as a couple, or with friends and family.
