Around 1890, a small school opened in Irvington on the property of the old Methodist Church. It had two front doors: one for girls, one for boys. Today that small school has graduated into what Europe's Tatler-Cunard Travel Guide rated as one of the "101 Best Hotels in the World".

Southern Living in February 2005 named it one of their "Four Favorite Romantic Getaways" Virginia Living in its June 2005 issue names the Hope and Glory as one of Virginia's "13 Lavish Hotels and Inns". "Walking into the Hope and Glory...I knew I landed in heaven". Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion June+July issue: Eight delightful pages on the "hopelessly romantic and gloriously fun" Hope and Glory Inn. "Each room delivers relaxed luxury and off-the-shoulder elegance." Travel + Leisure ranks it one of this country ’s “30 Great Inns”. American Historic Inns names it one of the “Top Ten Most Romantic Inns”. Frommer’s Travel Guide awards it Three Stars ­ its highest rating ­ 2003 Edition National Geographic Traveler (January/February 2003) describes it as “ a top flight country inn …flush with a playful elegance equal parts Martha Stewart and Grandma’s attic”

Couples escape. Families unite. Brides and grooms tie the knot here and remember year after year.

Corporations retreat here. The Kellogg Foundation, Pfizer Corporation, and Proctor and Gamble chose us this past year.

Historic schoolhouse eclectically styled. Classic vessels, hip restaurant, trendy waterfront resort town full of chic shops and 637 endearing people. Three upscale golf courses and destination spa.

Seven individually styled rooms in a historic schoolhouse eclectically styled and hopelessly romantic, also with six quaint English cottages and lush grounds featuring flowers rarely seen in Virginia gardens today. Add this to our sixteen Carpenter Gothic cottages we call "tents" located in our Vineyard Grove situated at the headwaters of Carters's Creek. Follow winding paths through authentic Victorian gardens, complete with a moon garden, which only blooms in the evening, and an outdoor shower (circa 1940) with a claw foot tub and shower in a totally private setting. Sweet strains of music continuously drift softly throughout the hotel and out over the grounds to the paths and gardens. All situated in a Chesapeake Bay waterfront village full of chic shops and 673 endearing people.

Although the entire property is wireless, beyond the gardens, there is The Meeting House, a small retreat and conference center, which offers today’s technology in a creative environment that only can be found at The Hope and Glory.

Cruise onto the water with one of our own private Captains aboard our authentic Chesapeake Bay "dead rise", the Faded Glory. It is an easy walk through White Fences Vineyard to our Vineyard Grove Tents (cottages), and beginning this summer (2005), soak by our pool or paddle your canoe or kayak. Dine in style at Trick Dog Café, our truly sensational and hip sister restaurant described by the New York Post as "hands down the best"' in the area "and perhaps the entire state". The Washington Times says "it deserves a Michelin Star". Soothe ones senses and be pampered nearby at a full service spa or hone your golfing skills on three classic courses, all within a complimentary bike ride.
