BLUE RIDGE, Georgia – February 13, 2020 – Vision Hospitality Group, Inc., in partnership with Blue Ridge Hotel, LLC announced the groundbreaking of the Hampton Inn by Hilton Blue Ridge, Georgia, which is anticipated to deliver a lodging experience new to the Blue Ridge area in early 2021. The hotel will offer 1,200 square feet of meeting space and the city’s only rooftop bar and event space at the foothills of the iconic Blue Ridge Mountains.

The 109-room hotel is located on West Main Street in the heart of downtown Blue Ridge, tucked between a mix of local breweries, wineries, eclectic eateries and a collection of specialty retail shops that complement the Historic District.
