  • Inn Details

    Grace Manor was built in 1910 by William Zimmermann as his wife Louise’s “dream house”. The workmanship, detailing and materials throughout the house reflect the fashionable lifestyle enjoyed in the West Grace Street and Monument Avenue neighborhoods at the turn of the century. The Schicks purchased the house in 2003 and converted it to a Bed and Breakfast. Grace Manor Inn has 3 large guest suites with private baths, a business center, a formal dining room, a sunroom, and three formal parlours. Each day begins with a multi-course, gourmet breakfast accompanied by your choice of gourmet, loose teas or LavAzza coffee. The Inn also has three resident Yorkie mascots who are anxious to welcome you!

    My wife and I celebrated our anniversery at the Grace Manor Inn. Everything was wonderful. Very gracious host, knowledgable about the house and area. The rooms were spacious, a sitting room came with the bedroom, bath down the hall. The bed was comortable, the breakfast marvalous. In Richmond, go here.

    My husband and I spent our 21st anniversary at the Grace Manor Inn, Richmond VA, Nov 28-30, 2011, and couldn't have been more pleased! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. We were in awe of the home's beauty and decor. We stayed in the Fensterer Davis Suite which was very spacious and oh so comfortable, especially the wonderful pillow-top mattress and the crisp white sheets! We've stayed in over a dozen B&B's and the Grace Manor Inn, by far, had the best gourmet breakfast...and their cupcakes are to die for! We made sure we bought a dozen of these delectable babies from Carytown Cupcakes to take home! Albert & Dawn couldn't have been more gracious and accommodating. They certainly know how to pamper their guests! We plan to return again next year.


    We'd do it again

    The Pictures do an injustice for this property! The owner/manager is more than pleasant and extremely accommodating! Our room was spacious, the bed was relaxing, the claw foot tub was a welcome experience of old times gone by. Grace Manor Inn was perfectly located for our visit to Richmond. It was so centrally located that we were almost locked in due to the Marathon. However, Albert came to our rescue!!! He provided us with a map showing the marathon route and available egress routes that enabled us to get to our destinations of choice. I fear the consequences of giving a 5 Star rating... I'm afraid that they will earn so much business that I may never be able to get another reservation! Thanks again to Albert, Dawn and the ferocious Yorkie Attack dogs!!!
