About

Sitting pretty at the entrance to the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia, The Forum Hotel is a just down the hill from Darden’s main buildings. On the grounds of the University, you can enjoy a scenic stroll to several of UVA’s sporting facilities as well as the UNESCO World Heritage-designated Central Grounds, designed by Thomas Jefferson himself. Or, wander through the hotel’s arboretum and botanical gardens towards the 25-mile long Rivanna Trail that connects the North Grounds to the greater Charlottesville area. If you care to venture into the city, you can enjoy a day of shopping and dining in the city’s beloved pedestrian promenade, the Downtown Mall.
