Hotel Roanoke

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. Today, the old Hotel Roanoke is the new Hotel Roanoke, restored and remodeled through a multi-million dollar package of public and private financing, including as a palpable gesture of affection for “their” hotel, $7 million in donations and loans from local individuals and companies. With a new high-tech Conference Center and other contemporary services and amenities, the hotel still retains the gracious flavor of the old Hotel, ready to greet and captivate guests just as it did for more than a century. As the Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center moves towards the future we will continue our commitment to excellence and providing a wealth of entertainment, dining, and hospitality options.
