THE HOTEL ROANOKE & CONFERENCE CENTER

 

The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center features 329 luxuriously appointed guestrooms and a 63,000- square-foot, high-tech conference center.


Originally built in 1882, this historic hotel is located in the Gainsboro neighborhood of Roanoke, VA and is a joint project of Hotel Roanoke LLC, the City of Roanoke and Virginia Tech.


In 1993 the Hotel Roanoke began a multi-million-dollar restoration and remodeling renovation project. Re-opening in April of 1995, Hotel Roanoke carefully preserved the past with touches such as an antique-filled lobby, original Czech-made chandeliers, a restored Regency Room (home of our signature Peanut Soup), Pine Room (formerly an Officers' Club in World War II), and the Palm Court, the original ceiling of which was painted to show the constellations as they appeared in the skies the day the first train came to Roanoke in 1852. Simultaneously, the Hotel Roanoke embraced the future by building a 63,000 square-foot meeting space, featuring state-of-the-art technology and accommodating more than 1,200 people, evolving into the Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center.
