About this bed and breakfast

Tucked in the grit & soul of Chelsea, The Velvet Anchor is a boutique inn inside a historic 110-year-old building. Built for old souls & young hearts, we trade sterile lobbies for cozy, curated comforts. Right on the Elizabeth River Trail, steps from local bars and restaurants - just minutes from downtown & Ghent. Beyond a place to stay, we partner with local chefs, musicians, & makers to host pop-up kitchens, open mics, cocktail classes and more - there's always something at the inn!
