About the Cavalier Resort Virginia Beach

What began in 1927 as a grand hotel above the Atlantic has grown into the region’s premier luxury resort, where timeless style meets modern comfort.

At the heart of it all is The Historic Cavalier Hotel and Beach Club, a landmark restored with care and vision. Today, the resort spans 20+ oceanfront acres and includes three unique hotels, each designed to suit a different travel style. Whether you’re seeking elegance, a contemporary escape, or a family-friendly retreat, you’ll find it here.

Guests can enjoy nine restaurants and bars, six pools, a full-service spa, a craft distillery, property-wide charging privileges, over 70,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space, and a private beach club reserved just for those staying at The Historic Cavalier Hotel. The resort also offers curated year-round experiences, unrivaled activities programming, and easy semi-private access to the best of the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.

For over a century, our storied destination has hosted 10 U.S. presidents and cultural icons from F. Scott Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Taylor to Frank Sinatra and Mohummad Ali. This has been a place credited for the birth of the “Big Band” era and what put Virginia Beach on the map, where legends, lure, and mystery were created and still exist. A place where stories are shared, moments are made, and most importantly, where guests are welcomed just as they are.
