Petersburg · Hotel shortlist
The best hotels on the waterfront in Petersburg
Camila Reyes The Adriatic and Greece
These are my five favourites in Petersburg, out of the 76 that qualified. I read what other travellers scored them before I picked, so the order follows the guests, 4.7024293 down to 4.3.
A Warm and Cozy 50' Houseboat in gated, quaint and peaceful marina near the city is the one I would book myself.

★★★★★4.7024293 from 741 reviews
A Warm and Cozy 50' Houseboat in gated, quaint and peaceful marina near the city comes out on top of this list, and not narrowly: 4.7024293 from 741 guest reviews is a score that holds up at that volume, which is the whole test here. A perfect ten from nine people does not beat it.
It is found under the waterfront.
76 hotels in Petersburg qualified for this list and five made it. A Cozy And Classic Hatteras 43' Yacht In One Of The Best James River Locations is the one I would book if the first is full.

How this list was put together
76 Petersburg hotels qualify for this list. We ranked them on guest rating, then on class, and took the top five.
Two things decide these lists. The first is my own time in the city: every hotel on this page is one I have stayed in, walked into and looked at, or gone back to check. That is where the shortlist starts, and it is why some well reviewed places are not on it.
The second is the numbers, and those are what set the order. The rating and review count come from the big travel sites, pooled through Google, so a score here reflects Expedia, Booking, Hotels.com and the rest together rather than any one of them. I also read the review breakdown by topic, which is where the figures on service, breakfast and location come from. Hotels with fewer than forty reviews are left out altogether, because a rating that thin is not a rating. No more than two come from one neighbourhood.
What I do not do is move anyone up the order. The ranking is the guest score, highest first, and nobody pays to be on the list.
Distances are straight lines from published coordinates, so the real walk is a little longer. Amenities are as recorded by Google Hotels and can change without notice. Rates are an indicative nightly figure for a midweek autumn stay, not a quote. Check the booking page before you commit.

Teaches during term and dives in the gaps. Cenotes in Mexico, flooded quarries in Wales, cold freshwater systems in Croatia. Travels with more equipment than clothing.
Trip Grapevine earns a commission on bookings made through the links on this page. It costs you nothing, and it does not change the order of the list, which is set by the measurements above.
