Services
In 1888, The Craddock Terry Shoe Company was founded by John W. Craddock. The shoe company began a legacy in Lynchburg and grew into the 5th largest shoe company in the world. The original Southland Factory was situated in the empty lot adjacent to Waterstone Pizza on Jefferson Street. With rapidly increasing demands, the Southland Factory was unable to keep up with orders with just one factory.

Beautiful hotel! I love the historic architecture of the building, an old shoe factory, and the history behind the property. I also loved the high ceilings and windows! Working from the hotel was a treat in front of the giant windows. The hotel was decorated for Christmas, which was beautiful! The bed was super comfortable, and even with Covid, we were able to select our continental breakfast selections and they were brought to the room in the morning. Great hotel! I would stay again. The only reason this isn't a 5 is because of the location-- I don't think it's in a very good area for walking

Definitely one of Virginia's jewels. A must stay when visiting Lynchburg – or not! My wife and I drive down from northern Virginia for getaways. Quaint. Period architecture. Modern conveniences. Sleep in a luxurious bed with massive wooden beams directly overhead. Lots of brick and stone. Exquisitely renovated former shoe factory turned hotel smack in the middle of old town Lynchburg. Highly recommended.👠👠👠👠👠

Beautiful atmosphere. Nice room. Sweet and very professional receptionist. I wanted to give this 5 stars but there was blood on the comforter in our room( not from us) and we were placed next to the parking lot ( hoping for a view) where the car alarms went off all night and there was a dog barking at 5:00 a.m. next door which the hotel cannot help. Wanted a quiet night kid free and to sleep through the night for our anniversary. We go out once a year and have always wanted to stay here but my experience was about the same as any other decent hotel in Lynchburg.
