Richmond‘s Quirk Hotel is the city’s very first boutique hotel, located in the Arts District. Opened by the owners of the Quirk Gallery, the hotel was established in a historic Italian Renaissance-style building that was formerly a dry goods store. Its limestone arches and groin ceiling make it a stylish setting for an overnight stay.
