Since the property first opened in November 2015, it has been featured in multiple national publications, including Southern Living magazine. The hotel has become well known for its “Keeping Room” library and the uniqueness of its history and design.
Then and Now…
Hotel Laurance was originally founded in 1883 when the proprietor, Joseph Parkinson, named the hotel after his wife, Laura. Today Hotel Laurance proudly honors its historic roots with original exposed brick accents, carefully curated artifacts, and of course, its namesake.
The hotel is now a newly renovated boutique hotel with 12 luxury guest suites and chic décor which tastefully showcase the “historic grace meets modern elegance” aesthetic of the property. With no two rooms alike, each has its own unique personality and design, providing guests with a new experience with each visit.
The suites are designed with a “home away from home” feel in mind as most of the rooms feature full kitchens, sitting areas, and bedrooms. Each room has a private bath and amenities such as complimentary Wi-Fi and smart TVs. Hotel Laurance also features two stunning event spaces which are perfect for intimate weddings, rehearsal dinners, milestone birthdays and anniversaries, and retreats.
