Greenwood Hospitality, an affiliate of Hotel Equities, opened The Publisher, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel in Fredericksburg, Va. The Publisher Hotel joins Marriott Bonvoy’s Tribute Portfolio.
Built and owned by Fredericksburg-based Vakos Companies, The Publisher Hotel is close to the home of George Washington’s mother, Mary Washington and the Lewis/Washington family farm. The Publisher was inspired by the legacy of the city’s oldest newspaper and the site’s last occupant, The Free Lance Star.
“Fredericksburg is more than a destination; it’s a tapestry of tales waiting to be unveiled. The Publisher Hotel represents the essence of the community’s spirit while celebrating the decorated history of the city’s past,” Collin Vakos, Fredericksburg native and developer of the 98-room historic property, said in a statement. “We are delighted to invite the world to experience the warmth of our great city’s hospitality and become part of its ongoing story.”
The Publisher’s design aesthetic was inspired by Fredericksburg’s past with bold contrasts and locally sourced art.
