Welcome Home!

After a decade of planning and more than two years of construction, your new home-away-from-home is waiting to welcome you back to Blacksburg.

Clad in 2,741 tons of Hokie Stone--or 82,236 individually cut stones--the Holtzman Alumni Center, The Inn at Virginia Tech, and the Skelton Conference Center embody the spirit of the neo-Gothic architecture that's a hallmark of the Virginia Tech campus.

Featuring 141 guest rooms and six suites, along with the Latham Ballroom, The Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center is the largest hotel and conference center in Virginia west of Roanoke.

And we call this elegant complex a home of our own.
