About this property

Downtown Mall Boutique Hotel Room above The Jefferson Theater

The Jeff is a boutique hotel and private oasis located on Charlottesville's historic Downtown Mall. Nestled above the world famous Jefferson Theater, you'll find sleek spaces, soaring archways, and subtle luxury with a rock and roll edge. Once you're inside these soundproof walls the world recedes like a dream – until you're ready to emerge, refreshed, with the heart if the city on your doorstep. To ensure privacy and true getaway vibes, The Jeff was designed to be entirely self-service (no front desk or need for check-in). Upon booking, you will receive a unique code that gives you access to your room.

The Jeff offers:
"Suites" with king beds w/additional living area
"Studios" standard king bedroom

Jeff Studio 303: Each room is individually furnished, with a distinct personality. Think effortless cool, creamy suede, and desert colors with pops of quirky humor.
The Jeff Hotel Studios feature a luxurious, custom-made king bed - perfect to settle down in after a hard day's rockin' with a flat screen TV. A Marshall amp speaker is provided to kick back and enjoy your favorite tunes. Each room is equipped with Nespresso coffee maker with pods, an electric kettle for tea that is also provided plus mini-fridge. Our spacious en-suite bathrooms boast high ceilings and walk-in showers.
Being on a pedestrian mall the hotel has no on-site parking, but we think that having Cville's most popular bars, restaurants and music venues mere steps away is a great trade-off!

Other amenities:
•High speed internet
•Clothes steamer
•Hair dryer
•Heating and cooling
•24-hour guest support

*Note – The Jeff Hotel is located in a historic building above the nationally renowned Jefferson Theater so it has no elevator. Each room is only accessible via stairs, in some cases multiple flights.
Due to the active nature of the theater below, there will be times where there may be crowds outside of the main entrance waiting for an event or during an event.

Dog Friendly Room with $75 pet fee! 1 dog max. Please mention to us that you plan to bring a pet. We will charge a $150 fee if we are not notified of pets staying in the space. Please do NOT leave pets unattended in the space, unless crated.

Great room in a great location!

We were in town to see a concert in the Jefferson Theater, and this boutique hotel above the venue provided the perfect overnight accommodations. The location on the downtown mall is ideal, in easy walking distance to many cool shops and restaurants. The room was exactly as described, neatly furnished and included a mini fridge and a Nespresso machine. Would definitely stay again and recommend!

How it Should Be

Property exactly as advertised. Cute, clean, functional and great location. Easy and short walk from parking garage. Well worth the effort to be on a closed off street. Communication could not have been better. We will surely be staying again.

Bit of a haul from the parking garage. Bit of a climb up the steps with luggage. Still, a lovely room and very efficient. Can't beat the location.Thermostat is in the closet, which makes for a very cold room - had to make adjustments in the wee hours. Nothing open on the pedestrian mall until 10am, so you might want to check out before breakfast/shopping.

No-frills, perfect location

This is a PERFECT location for someone who wants a clean, safe, and nice place to stay and won’t spend much time in the room (which is very small and only has two small windows near the ceiling). You will not find a better location downtown. The only downside is how you can hear everything from your neighbors in the hallway, so light sleepers beware, but the white noise machine they included in the room was a delightful touch!

Great Location, Studio is Accurate

Went to a concert at The Jefferson Theater so this was a perfect spot. Probably the smallest and darkest hotel room I've ever stayed in, but it served its purpose. Maybe a bit pricey considering the size.

Exceptional Overnight

See review of Jeff Studio by me. I booked two rooms. One for my husband and myself and one for a friend. I cannot give this room a high enough recommendtion. There was a refrigerator in the room as well as a steamer! And parking was free. The location was perfectly wonderful! The room was immaculate, comfortable, quiet and exceeded any expectation for the price!

Great spot for a show

Instructions for the equipment were thorough. The property was very clean and well appointed. The only thing preventing 5 stars is that a couple of the electronic devices did not seem to be functioning properly (amp and white noise machine).

Quick Solo Trip

Great location, simple check-in and contact-less process, beautiful modern furnishings, everything top of the line and brand new. The sheets were just incredible - I need to know the brand so I can purchase some for myself! Would have been nice to have a mini-fridge, but understand space is very limited. Will recommend to others looking for a convenient, modern, unique place to stay on the Downtown Mall.
