Known affectionately as the 'grand old lady on the hill' since her foundations were first laid in 1882, Hotel Roanoke exudes elegance and grace. From her deep front veranda bathed in golden afternoon sunlight, outdoor pool and hot tub, to her antique furnishings and historic artifacts, this beautiful property is everything a destination hotel should be. And, because we're in Virginia, it's the perfect place to escape for a lovers tryst.
