Daly Seven Developing New Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Lynchburg, Virginia
Daly Seven, a leading hotel developer and operator in the Southeast, is excited to announce the development of a new Holiday Inn Express & Suites and an adjacent restaurant outparcel in Lynchburg/Campbell County, Virginia.
The 113-room hotel is currently under construction at 15241 Wards Road, Lynchburg, Virginia. The new hotel replaces the existing Holiday Inn Express on Seminole Avenue and is scheduled to open in Fall 2026. The new Holiday Inn Express & Suites will offer guests the comfort, value, and consistency travelers expect from the IHG brand, including complimentary hot breakfast, a fitness center, and modern, well-appointed rooms. The hotel is designed to serve both business and leisure travelers visiting Liberty University, Centra Health, and the greater Lynchburg area.
As part of the development, Daly Seven is also offering a 1.75-acre pad-ready restaurant outparcel, positioned at the front of the hotel site along the high-traffic Wards Road corridor, which sees over 40,000 vehicles daily. This site offers an exceptional opportunity for a fast-casual or full-service restaurant to serve a built-in customer base of hotel guests, Liberty University's 20,000+ undergraduate students, and local residents.
"This development is designed to enhance both the guest experience and the surrounding community," said Noel Anderson of Daly Seven. "The combination of a trusted hotel brand and a well-positioned restaurant site will create long-term value for our partners and the Campbell County hospitality corridor."
The hotel and restaurant will complement the surrounding commercial district, which includes the newly renovated Hampton Inn & Suites Lynchburg, newly renovated SpringHill Suites by Marriott Lynchburg, and Chili's. Together, these properties will contribute to a welcoming and convenient retail corridor at the southern entrance to Liberty University on Liberty Mountain Drive.
