About the Cavalier Resort
The Cavalier Resort is more than a destination. It’s a legacy brought to life on the shores of Virginia Beach. Set on 20 oceanfront acres, we’ve welcomed presidents, cultural icons, and generations of families since 1927.
Rooted in history and designed for now, we’re home to three distinctive hotels—each part of a larger story you’ll want to be part of.
What started in the roaring 1920s as a grand hotel overlooking the Atlantic has evolved into the region’s premier luxury resort, where timeless style meets modern comfort. At the heart of it all is the iconic Historic Cavalier Hotel and Beach Club, a landmark that has hosted ten U.S. presidents and cultural legends from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Frank Sinatra. Lovingly restored and reimagined, it remains the soul of Virginia’s largest city.
Today, the Cavalier Resort features three unique hotels, each with its own personality. Whether you’re drawn to classic elegance, a modern oceanfront escape, or a family-friendly suite experience, you’ll find it here.
Guests enjoy access to nine restaurants and bars, six pools, a full-service spa, an onsite craft distillery, resort-wide charging privileges, and more than 70,000 square feet of event space. The resort also offers curated experiences year-round, from signature seasonal events to semi-private access to the best of the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, including our exclusive Cavalier Beach Club.
This is where the Big Band era took root, legends were born, and Virginia Beach found its place on the map. The legacy remains, not as a relic of the past, but as a standard we continue to build upon.
Home to three distinctive hotels: The Historic Cavalier Hotel and Beach Club, the contemporary Marriott Virginia Beach Oceanfront, and the family-friendly Embassy Suites. But we’re more than where you stay.
We’re hilltop history and Atlantic horizons. Grand lobbies and rooftop sunsets. Garden parties, beach mornings, and poolside laughter. Craft spirits at Tarnished Truth. Tranquil moments at SeaHill Spa. Celebrations on the Great Lawn that bring everyone together.
Spanning 20 oceanfront acres, the Cavalier Resort connects classic tradition with modern coastal living. More than 500 rooms and suites. Nine restaurants. Six pools. A semi-private beach. A destination shaped by nearly a century of stories, and the guests who continue to write the next chapter.
