The Williamsburg Hospitality House, Williamsburg, Virginia


The Williamsburg Hospitality House is a luxury hotel near the colonial district and the College of William and Mary.  It is a beautiful building whose sign prominently displays a pineapple which signified welcome in colonial times.  It is a common decoration in Williamsburg, adorning many buildings.
