THE MARTHA WASHINGTON INN

  ORIGINALLY BUILT IN 1832 AS A PRIVATE RESIDENCE BY A   VIRGINIA GENERAL, THE MARTHA WASHINGTON INN HAS SEEN MANY   DIFFERENT USES. FROM   PRIVATE RESIDENCE IT EVOLVED INTO A FINISHING SCHOOL FOR   YOUNG LADIES. WHEN THE ARMIES OF THE CIVIL WAR BATTLED IN   AND AROUND ABINGDON,   THE BUILDING SERVED AS A HOSPITAL FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS,   AND ROMANTIC STORIES OF NURSES AND SOLDIERS STILL ENDURE   TO THIS DAY. AFTER THE CIVIL WAR THE MARTHA BECAME A   WOMENS COLLEGE AND TODAY IS AN ELEGANT HOTEL, PAYING   HOMAGE TO ITS GRACIOUS SOUTHERN ROOTS AND ENDURING   HISTORIC LEGACY. THE INNS 62 GUESTROOMS AND SUITES   REFLECT THE CAREFULLY ASSEMBLED COLLECTION OF VICTORIAN ,   EDWARDIAN AND GEORGIAN-PERIOD ANTIQUES AND ARTIFACTS THAT   GRACE THIS ONE-TIME MANSION. EACH ROOM IS DIFFERENT IN   DECOR, SIZE AND CONFIGURATION. GUEST ENJOY TURNDOWN   SERVICE, A MORNING NEWSPAPER, OVERNIGHT SHOESHINE, AND   ENGLISH TOILETRIES.   THE MARTHA WASHINGTON INN, NOW OFFERS TO ITS GUESTS, THE   NEWLY COMPLETED NATATORIUM, WITH ITS BRICK FACADE   MATCHING THE TIMELESS DECOR OF THE BUILDING. FRENCH DOORS   AND A RETRACTABLE ROOF BRING THE OUTSIDE INSIDE IN THE   WARD SUMMER MONTHS. A SUNDECK OFF THE POOL PROVIDES THE   PERFECT SPOT FOR A QUIET READ OR WARM RELAXATION IN THE   SUN. WE ARE ALSO PROUD TO ANNOUNCE, IN FEBRUARY 2006, THE   OPENING OF THE SPA AT THE MARTHA. THE SPA FEATURES   BEAUTIFULLY APPOINTED TREATMENT ROOMS, THE LATEST IN   EQUIPMENT TECHNOLOGY PLUS AN ADJOINING FITNESS AREA,   CONVENIENTLY CLOSE TO DRESSING AND LOCKER ROOMS.   THIS PROPERTY WAS BUILT IN 1832   RENOVATED IN 2003
