Top 5 Hotels in Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach is known as the Resort City for good reason. It’s a big city with more than 450,000 residents, an abundance of seafood restaurants, friendly people, and despite the noise from military planes flying overhead, a laid-back vibe throughout.
If you’re staying here, the best hotels are all near the beach. Here are our five favorites.
