THERE’S A SETTING FOR EVERY VIBE TOWN CENTER
Metropolitan energy just minutes from the oceanfront. That’s the promise of Town Center’s downtown vibe, designed to combine upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment with welcoming outdoor plaza spaces. Meeting hotels and arts venues complete the package for unique events.
THE OCEANFRONT Classic beach fun and serious hospitality find common ground at Virginia Beach’s popular Resort Beach area. Boasting a lively beach culture and one of America’s favorite boardwalks, the oceanfront is home to luxury hotels, lush landscaping, bike paths, and wide sandy beaches.
CHESAPEAKE BAY
Waterfront views and a quiet pace set the tone for the Chesapeake Bay Beach experience. Where waves are gentle and sunsets are predictably awe-inspiring, harmony rules. Meeting hotels and favorite local restaurants make sure the good mood carries through to your event.
