A Journey Through Wise County's Past

The Inn at Wise: A Timeless Legacy Rediscovered

Step back in time at The Inn at Wise, a centerpiece among historic hotels in Virginia. Our story began in 1910, born from the resilience of local visionaries after the original Dotson Hotel was lost to fire. Throughout the decades, this colonial-revival landmark has evolved from a 22-room inn to an iconic destination of Southwest Virginia heritage.

From its 1925 transformation under Herbert Thompson to its modern-day restoration, every corridor whispers tales of the past. For travelers seeking authentic historic hotels,  we offer a rare opportunity to experience living history combined with the sophisticated comforts of a grand mountain estate.
