Stay in Style at the Quirk Hotel Richmond
Kick off the weekend by checking into the Quirk Hotel, a downtown gem known for its bold art gallery, rooftop bar with panoramic city views, and cozy stylish rooms. It’s the perfect home base to gather your crew, snap some artsy photos, and soak up Richmond’s creative energy.
After settling in, head up to the rooftop bar for signature cocktails and toast to the weekend ahead. If you’re feeling hungry, The Lobby Bar inside the hotel offers rustic-American fare that’s both comforting and refined — a great spot for a first-night dinner.

With its stylish interior and Instagram-worthy plates, it’s a perfect fit for a bachelorette crew.
After brunch, elevate your morning with a private color analysis session from The Fashioneaseta, brought right to your group. This personalized style experience helps each guest discover the colors that make her glow, boosting confidence and adding a unique, fun twist to the day. It’s a fabulous way to connect, learn, and get inspired together.
