Thomas Jefferson described the glorious Virginia Countyside, spectacular mountains, gently rolling hills, splendid foliage, and open meadows as the Eden of the United States. Broad Oak, a pre civil war mansion, stood on the site until the late 19th century. In 1912, the Villa Crawford was built as a private residence, which then became the clubhouse for the newly formed Keswick Country Club in 1939. Twice the club was the venue for the Virginia State Open Golf Championship. Utilizing the original Tuscan style, the Villa Crawford has been restored and extended into what is now Keswick Hall. The original mansion, with its heart pine floors, ornate ceiling molding, and grand staircase, has been transformed into the North Wing of Keswick Hall.
This area houses many of the new public rooms and seventeen of the hall's forty-eight rooms. Each guest room is individually furnished in its own particular theme and contains the cherished possessions of a family residence, charming porcelain china, old prints, book, and family photographs. The eclectic collection of artwork and antique furniture throughout the hall creates the warmth and comfort of a county house.
Set against the backdrop of the Virginia Countyside, Keswick Hall combines the best of both worlds: a European country manor house with outstanding European service and the renowned Southern hospitality of Virginia. The adjacent private Keswick Club overlooks a superb eighteen-hole golf course designed by Arnold Palmer. The club provides its members and houseguests from Keswick Hall extensive leisure and fitness facilities, including an indoor/outdoor pool, outdoor seasonal 25-meter pool, tennis courts, saunas, steam rooms, and jacuzzi.
An array of beauty and spa treatments is available. The informal Palmer Room and adjacent English Pub offer a casual/elegant setting, perfect for dining and social gatherings.
