The Historic Cavalier Hotel and Beach Club Autograph Collection

Liked everything very much except the Hours opening closing of bars/restaurants. Closing the lobby bar at 10 is frustrating. And the Raleigh Room closed a bit earlier than stated 11p

The location, the beach club, restaurants. The staff was great and room was wonderful.

The Cavalier Hotel on the surface is great. BUT we booked a Heritage one bedroom suite. At check in they gave us Suite 202 and were told that it was a great room (we all have heard that before). We get to the suite. 202 and our view is the rooftop of indoor pool and HVAC stuff. Plus suite 202 is right above the Raleigh lounge. The noise from the crowds and music from the Raleigh lounge was awful so if you’re a light sleeper or want to go to bed early, do not accept this suite. Plus the four windows looking out on the roof and HVAC have see through shades and light pour in the morning; they need room darkening shades. The door into the bedroom won’t stay open. This suite has a large double vanity but only one sink and the open area below doesn’t have any place to store your toiletries.

The suite 202 at over $1,000 per night is not worth it. They should be honest at check in regarding the awful view and noise from below Raleigh lounge. We complained and asked to change, but supposedly nothing available (how many of us have heard that before?). The supervisor did supposedly gave us a $100 credit for our troubles.

Would I stay here again? Probably not (definitely not in suite 202). I’m a loyal Marriott Bonvoy member and even being placed in this room was very disappointing.

We had to move rooms after we found mold over our bed. Wife had a headache every morning. In the room they moved us to, we had no hot water for hours in the morning. The staff the entire time were lazy, passive aggressive, and apathetic.

When I was asking about a couple of charges when I checked out, the gal decided to tell me, completely off topic, that engineering could not find any mold in the room I moved out of.

I asked her what the point of that comment was, besides to call me a liar, and she just smirked and said “just letting you know.”

Becca has HORRIBLE service and the food is mid.

Hospitality staff are anything but. Valets are awesome. Carlo and Brock are dope.

Sadie, was responsive and friendly. She also engaged in friendly conversation. The amenities at the beach club are second to none. I, for one, plan on taking advantage this summer.

Jessita was a very nice person she made my 9th birthday feel so special!!!❤️

Nespresso machine, comfortable bed, great bars and restaurants on site.

I have to take a few minutes and tell everyone one how wonderful this hotel and the staff is. I needed some R & R. From the room to the perfect Spa treatment. I could not have gotten anything better. From the moment I checked in with Nerisa at the front deck to my going home it could not have been any better. Nerisa understand what would help make my time there perfect. I will be back.

Very well maintained. You feel special being there.

Stunning! Pool is incredible in all weather! Beautiful and lots of history to learn!

My wife and I spent last evening on the lawn of The Cavalier, sipping champagne under that golden sunset. We started wondering aloud—were these two hotels always blocking the view? That’s when a gentleman in an impeccably tailored suit strolled by. (Seriously, the fit was GQ-level—my wife couldn’t stop noticing how sharp it looked, maybe I should start hitting the gym) as he walked by and greeted us I half-joking, and asked if he knew the backstory.
Turns out he’s Dean, and he didn’t just answer, he launched into this passionate, effortless history lesson. Built in 1927, the Cavalier was saved from demolition by a local guy who’d grown up in Virginia Beach. He poured his own money in, rallied investors, even got state help to gut and rebuild it from the inside out—keeping every original charm while making it shine again. Dean described the Navy taking it over in the thirties and forties, turning it into a radioman and officer school during WWII, stables turned barracks and all. He told it like he lived it, zero notes, pure fire.
We were hooked. Then another couple plopped down, asked him to repeat it, and he did, same energy, no shortcuts. It wasn’t just facts. it was pride, like the place was family. We’ve stayed here before, but this random chat? Made it unforgettable. The view’s gorgeous, the bubbly’s perfect, but that Fire side chat turned a quiet night into something we’d tell friends about.

Beautiful property that feels like you’re in an old Hollywood movie. Impeccably clean and out suite was exceptional.

My wife I was celebrating our anniversary and we loved everything about our stay at the Historic Cavalier Hotel and Resort.

Everything was extraordinary! The staff went above and beyond, the suite was very comfortable, the food was amazing and the atmosphere was great!

It's one of the best hotels I have started at...

The Cavalier Hotel is a time capsule of charm. In January, we stayed at The Cavalier for the first time. It was such a wonderful experience, we couldn't resist returning in February. Nerisa at the front desk welcomed us like family, and Carlo whisked our bags away with seamless grace. I can't stress enough how great Nerisa is. She is so kind (and funny). I found myself stopping and chatting with her every time I passed her. When we entered our room, he hung our garment bags in the closet. Every moment felt like a page from a storybook- history, ocean breeze, and pure hospitality. We'll be back in April, for my husband's birthday. Timeless, memorable, and just the right sparkle.

We had afternoon tea at the Cavalier in the Raleigh Room, and it was delightful! It is one of the few venues in our area that has genuine historic elegance. Having lived in Europe for almost a decade, it was a welcome chance to step back into the luxury of a Viennese cafe. Our 3-tiered tray was loaded with tasty treats, from savory sandwiches and croissants to scones with clotted cream to decadent desserts. Our server, Ashley, could not have been nicer. She was attentive and made the whole experience warm and inviting. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a truly memorable moment to relax and be pampered a bit!
