Located in the historic Red Brick downtown quarter of Staunton, this
124-room hotel captures the spirit, history and charm of the old South.
Originally built in 1924 as the Stonewall Jackson Hotel, the property underwent a complete top to
bottom renovation in 2005 and has been painstakingly restored to its
original grandeur. A rebranding as Hotel 24 South took place during the summer of 2020. The hotel boasts an indoor swimming pool, hot tub,
lobby bar, restaurant and fitness center.
The original Wurlitzer theatre organ on the mezzanine of the two story
lobby was also restored to full playing condition, although the hotel
staff says that the sound is too loud for live entertainment; instead,
the hotel plays recordings of the organ during Christmas and other
holiday occasions. The Georgian-style, red brick structure was designed
by renowned architect H.L. Stevens, cost $440,000 to build in the 1920s
and boasted every major technical innovation of the day. Today the
property is a member of the Historic Hotels of America division of the
National Trust for Historic Preservation.
