Heralded for its Beaux Arts design, Roman columns, marble lobby, balustrade roof and gilded ceiling trim, Roanoke’s Liberty Trust Hotel occupies a circa-1909 bank building that’s listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The boutique hotel opened in March 2022 with 54 guest rooms, each appointed with a tufted leatherette headboard, built-in desk and a walk-in shower with striking geometric tile work. Deluxe king and corner double queen rooms offer gorgeous city and mountain views.
Added perks include luxury bed and bath linens, Molton Brown bath products, a high-definition TV, mini refrigerator, Nespresso machine with complimentary beverages and a FitnessOnDemand app for in-room workouts. (Yoga mats and resistance bands are available at the front desk.)
Hotel restaurant The Vault serves up breakfast, dinner, international wines and local craft beers. Don’t miss the khachapuri, a decadent Georgian cheese bread, and the artisanal selection of hand-carved hams, including prestigious Iberico de Bellota from Spain, as well as locally sourced Etzler Country Ham, cured 20 miles north of Roanoke. Gratis coffee and tea from local roaster Mill Mountain Coffee & Tea are available in the lobby.
Outdoorsy types will appreciate the proximity to Roanoke’s Greenways trail network, including the 1.7-mile Mill Mountain trail, which offers expansive city and Blue Ridge views. The hotel is an easy walk to restaurants, shops and the Roanoke Pinball Museum—and one block from the Amtrak station. (Bring earplugs if you’re a sensitive sleeper.)Â
Rates begin at $149. A Pet Lover’s Package (room rates vary) includes dog treats and bowls for use during your stay. A refundable $75 incidental deposit is due at check-in. Nearby hotel parking is $8 per night.
