Hotel Greene offers a unique entertainment experience in Richmond, Virginia, combining the elegance of a restored Victorian mansion with the whimsy of an indoor mini-golf course. Upon entering, guests are transported to a bygone era, with each room themed as a different hotel suite or parlor, complete with vintage furniture, chandeliers, and period decor. The mini-golf course winds through multiple levels, incorporating creative obstacles like luggage stacks, clawfoot tubs, and even a grand staircase. The atmosphere is both nostalgic and lighthearted, making it a popular spot for date nights, group outings, or casual fun. The on-site bar serves craft cocktails and local beers, adding to the convivial vibe. What sets Hotel Greene apart is its immersive attention to detail, the space feels less like a game and more like stepping into a living museum where you can play. Located in the historic Franklin Street district, it's a short walk from other downtown attractions.

A bit of history
The building at 508 E Franklin St was originally a private residence built in the late 19th century, later converted into a boarding house before being transformed into Hotel Greene in 2014. The name nods to the building's hotel past and the color of the mini-golf putting surfaces.
