Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Roanoke is known as
the Star City of the South. The Roanoke Star, located on top of Mill
Mountain, lights up the evening sky and welcomes visitors to the city.
Roanoke has it all-from heritage and history to technology and culture,
restaurants, museums, golf, tennis, shopping, (including antiques and
crafts), a zoo, a minor league baseball team and a hockey team. Beyond
the Star City's glow is the Blue Ridge Parkway, with breathtaking
overlooks, trails, wineries, history, and the Smith Mountain Lake resort
area.
The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center, built in 1892 and known as "the
Grand Old Lady," is located downtown and is connected to the Market
District by a covered walkway. Originally built by the Norfolk and
Southern Railroad, it has undergone a number of changes and renovations,
and today is a modern and well-equipped four-star hotel and conference
center, while still retaining the ambience of a bygone era.
