Since 1959, Colony House Motor Lodge has been a Roanoke original — a mid-century motor lodge with timeless charm and a legacy of warm hospitality. Once a stop for traveling bands and football legends, today it’s a thoughtfully restored retreat for modern travelers who appreciate character, comfort, and a sense of place.

Each room at Colony House Motor Lodge is a thoughtful nod to the past, with artistic mid-century décor, period furnishings, and vibrant color palettes that take you back—without sacrificing comfort. Think iconic design and timeless classics alongside plush beds, updated beautiful tile bathrooms, and all the amenities for the perfect retreat.

All rooms feature luxurious Kingsdown mattresses, Molton Brown bath amenities, and posh linens—so you can enjoy the perfect blend of vintage and next-level comfort. It’s everything you love about retro, with the convenience of now. Stream your favorite services in your room and enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi during your stay.

Our Star City Lounge, adjacent to the lobby offers complimentary coffee daily to start your day whether heading to work or out to enjoy any of the scenic views, area attractions, or outdoor hiking. The Blue Ridge Parkway is easy access from the hotel and we're just a few minutes from downtown Roanoke.
