Kimpton The Forum Hotel

UVA-area · Lifestyle hotel · Highly rated

Best for guests attending University of Virginia events, those who prefer a compact lifestyle hotel near campus, and travelers who value high guest ratings.

Quick Verdict: Boar's Head Resort vs Kimpton The Forum Hotel

When Boar's Head Resort wins: pick Boar's Head if you want resort-scale recreation — multiple pools (including a family Aquatics Center and an adults-only spa pool), a large sports club with racquet and fitness facilities, on-site golf, and an on-site spa. It’s the clear choice for families and activity-focused stays.

When Kimpton The Forum Hotel wins: choose the Kimpton if proximity to UVA, a compact lifestyle hotel footprint, and a well-rated downtown/campus stay matter most. The Kimpton works well for attendees of university events, concerts at John Paul Jones Arena, and travelers who prefer a boutique urban hotel experience.

Bottom line: both hotels serve upscale Charlottesville travelers but with different priorities — Boar's Head is a full-service estate resort for recreation and relaxation; Kimpton The Forum Hotel is an upscale, well-rated choice for campus access and shorter, city-oriented stays.
