Williamsburg Inn is a historic resort hotel located at Williamsburg, Virginia. It was built in three phases between 1937 and 1972. The original section was designed by Perry Dean Rogers Architects and is dominated by a two-story portico which stands atop a ground floor arcade. It is a three-story, seven-bay, Colonial Revival style brick structure. It has two-story flanking wings in an "H"-shape. The East Wing addition, also by Perry Dean Rogers Architects, consists of multiple wings of guest rooms set at right angles to one another. A third phase embracing the Regency Dining Room and its adjoining courtyard, was completed in 1972. The inn represented John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s commitment to bring the message of Williamsburg to a larger audience of influential Americans.{{cite web |author=Wenger |first=Mark R. |date=January 1997 |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Williamsburg Inn |url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Cities/Williamsburg/137-0079_Williamsburg_Inn_1997_Final_Nomination.pdf |publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources}} and [http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Cities/Williamsburg/WilliamsburgInn_photo.htm Accompanying photo]
