Staunton has earned national recognition as one of the South’s most charming small cities. Southern Living called it “one of the prettiest and most progressive towns in the South,” while Travel + Leisure named it one of “America’s Favorite Mountain Towns,” and Smithsonian Magazine has recognized it among “The Best Small Towns in America.”

Conveniently located in the heart of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley at the intersection of I-81 and I-64, Staunton combines beautifully preserved architecture, a thriving arts and culture scene, award-winning restaurants, and locally owned boutiques into a walkable downtown experience.

Spend the night at a historic inn or boutique hotel just steps from museums, theaters, shops, and dozens of independently owned restaurants, or enjoy a scenic escape at Batten Green.

If you prefer a full-service hotel, hotels like Tru by Hilton and Fairfield Inn comfortable accommodations with convenient access to nearby outdoor adventures, including Shenandoah National Park’s Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Whatever your version of fun looks like, Staunton pairs perfectly with your Shenandoah Beerwerks Trail adventure.
