The Craddock Terry Hotel

What was once a turn-of-the-century shoe factory is now a residential-style boutique hotel blending the urban architecture of two landmark brick warehouses with the fashionable styling of a modern hotel. Paying homage to its origins, the décor is accented with historical artifacts from the heyday of the Craddock-Terry Shoe Corporation, and guests enjoy shoe-themed amenities including a complimentary shoeshine and scrumptious ‘shoe cookies’ at bedtime. The hotel’s 44 luxurious guest rooms and suites are incredibly spacious, and due to the nature of the buildings’ origins, provide different architectural elements plus dramatic views of the James River, historic downtown Lynchburg, or the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Reserve your room for the VEDA Membership Luncheon by calling the hotel directly and asking for the VEDA Room Rate of $139 per night.
