Look forward to an inspiring stay from hotels with EV charging stations in Richmond, and get ready to cover a lot of ground in this capital city.

While touring the town, a must-see landmark in Richmond is The Virginia State Capitol. Conceived by Thomas Jefferson and Charles-Louis Clérisseau, this famous building houses the Virginia General Assembly, which was originally established as the House of Burgesses in 1619, it is the oldest elected legislative body in North America. During the Colonial period, multiple fires ravaged the previous Virginia statehouses, so this Capitol is actually the eighth built to serve as Virginia's statehouse, and in the early 20th century, two more wings were added.

Leaving your EV charging hotel in Richmond, spend the afternoon strolling past incredible works at The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, a world-renowned museum in Richmond and one of the largest art museums in North America for the square footage of exhibition space. As a huge attraction for global visitors and local tourists alike, this museum anchors the city’s "Museum District," an area known as "West of the Boulevard." Here, you’ll enjoy the many global collections of art on display, including African, America, British sporting art, Fabergé, and Himalayan art. VMFA is also one of the first museums in the South to be operated by state funds, so you can look forward to the museum’s free admission, except for special exhibits. While visiting the museum, you may just catch an exciting event from the Leslie Cheek Theater, a performing arts venue on site.

Snag some solid outdoor time during your stay from hotels with electric car charging stations, and make a day trip to Belle Isle, a small 54-acre island in the city. As a city park, Belle Island lies within the James River and is accessible to pedestrian and bicycle traffic via a suspension footbridge that runs under the Robert E. Lee Memorial Bridge. You can also access the isle by foot when the water level of the James River allows. From this striking setting, you can see Hollywood Cemetery, the old Tredegar Iron Works, and Richmond City's stunning skyline while strolling or enjoying a breezy bike ride around one of the isle’s trails.
