No Room (For Error) at the Inn

How one hotel makes an overnight feel like an entire weekend.

Living in Richmond for nine years, I had often heard stories about memorable dining experiences at the Inn at Little Washington, which is tucked away in tiny Washington, Va., about a two-hour drive from my house. I was impressed but not awed - so many popular restaurants flame out. But the Inn is now three decades old, and its reputation grows ever stronger. I decided to go there myself undercover and ferret out their secrets for maintaining superb service.

Oh, and I got to take my husband. Bliss! -- Fortune Small Business
