CHARLESTON, SC—Charlestowne Hotels will oversee the operations and management of The Bristol Hotel, a boutique hotel property opening in downtown Bristol, VA. Expanding the company’s portfolio of independent hotels and resorts, franchised properties and condo-hotels around the country, the eight-story, 65-room Bristol Hotel is currently under construction with an anticipated late summer 2017 opening. Charlestowne Hotels was appointed by developer McCall Capital, LLC.
The development of The Bristol Hotel will repurpose downtown Bristol’s Executive Plaza building, which dates back to 1925. With the building’s history in mind, the construction will preserve the original stucco exterior, display windows and main façade, which features nine window bays with concrete sills and soldier course lintels.
The hotel will include 56 guestrooms, seven junior suites and one executive suite, as well as a top floor penthouse measuring 1,200 sq. ft. Additional features include the region’s only hotel rooftop bar, according to the company. A farm-to-table restaurant on the first floor will serve Southern cuisine with fresh and locally sourced ingredients. Additionally, the hotel will offer up to 3,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, the most distinct of which includes a 2,800-sq.-ft. former arcade available for dinners, weddings and other events. For those looking to recharge, spa services will be offered.
As the management company behind The Bristol Hotel, Charlestowne Hotels will work closely with the internal hotel team as well as McCall Capital, LLC, to make certain that The Bristol Hotel is on target for its opening in late summer 2017. The Charlestowne Hotels team will further support the launch and development of the property through day-to-day operational controls and hands-on management with a focus on increasing revenue, enhancing guest satisfaction and maintaining precise financial reporting, according to the company.
