You won't mistake this Crowne Plaza for any other building in town -- it's a starkly modern, triangular 16-story high-rise with reflecting glass windows. Most of the rooms offer stunning river and city views, especially the Point Suites in the sharp corners of the building (their windows render 270-degree views). Some suites are bi-level, with sleeping lofts upstairs. It's less expensive than The Berkeley and the Omni Richmond, and it's only a few blocks to Shockoe Slip. The mezzanine-level Pavilion Cafe serves all three meals, while the Great Room off the lobby offers Starbucks coffee, drinks, and light fare with a view of Canal Walk.
