About
Opened in 1913 as the Hotel Rueger, we are proud to introduce you to The Commonwealth, reinvented to offer guests a uniquely Richmond experience in the heart of downtown. Located on Capitol Square, directly across the street from the Virginia State Capitol and Governor's Mansion, our 59 room boutique hotel is rich in its own history. Every aspect of The Commonwealth is truly authentic. Our oversized guestrooms feature artwork and furniture from local and regional artists, artisans, and craftsmen. The tattooed door on each studio and suite pays tribute to Richmond's ranking as the 3rd Most Tattooed City in the United States. Every guest hallway features a custom mural, painted by a who's who of local muralists. The bright, two-story lobby doubles as an art gallery, showcasing original works by Richmond artists. Rueger’s, our full service restaurant, pays homage to the eatery that was established at this site in 1846, and features the original marble floor from 1913. Whether traveling for the love of business, government, art, history, music, sports, food and drink, outdoor activities, or nightlife, you will feel at home here. Coined by some as a “visual love letter to the city”, The Commonwealth has something for every lover of Richmond.
