Vision Hospitality Group, Inc., in partnership with Blue Ridge Hotel, LLC announced the groundbreaking of the Hampton Inn by Hilton Blue Ridge, Georgia, which is anticipated to deliver a lodging experience new to the Blue Ridge area in early 2021. The hotel will offer 1,200 square feet of meeting space and the city's only rooftop bar and event space at the foothills of the iconic Blue Ridge Mountains.
The 109-room hotel is located on West Main Street in the heart of downtown Blue Ridge, tucked between a mix of local breweries, wineries, eclectic eateries and a collection of specialty retail shops that complement the Historic District. Renowned for its Appalachian landscape of more than 300 miles of trails, Blue Ridge is a year-round destination with an abundance of activities ranging from horseback riding to the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. The property is thoughtfully positioned to provide a seamless experience for visitors and will offer a retreat for its neighboring city of Atlanta and surrounding region, all while maintaining an attractive price point.
"Hampton Inn by Hilton Blue Ridge will be a great addition to Blue Ridge. The hotel introduces the area's first rooftop bar and will be the only hotel with walkable access to all the restaurants, galleries and shops that make Blue Ridge such a popular destination," said Mitch Patel, President & CEO of Vision Hospitality Group. "We are excited to join this wonderful community with one of the most desirable brands in the hospitality industry."
