The Martha Washington Inn & Spa
The Martha Washington Inn & Spa occupies a residence built in 1832 opposite Barter Theatre. Its 63 rooms and suites, spa and pool make the property part of the experience, while Main Street provides an immediate connection to the historic center.
The location is particularly useful for combining theater and dinner on foot. Choose the performance and meal first if they shape the visit, then compare the hotel’s room categories and reservation terms.
Black's Fort Inn Bed & Breakfast
Black’s Fort Inn operates on a smaller scale than a full-service hotel, with a few rooms, breakfast and open grounds. It remains close to downtown Abingdon and the Virginia Creeper Trail.
The appeal is a more rural setting without losing convenient access to town restaurants and activities. Compare room arrangements and the approach to the property with your planned theater, walking or cycling outings.
Creeper's End Lodging
Creeper’s End Lodging sits near the Abingdon terminus of the Virginia Creeper Trail. Its position is useful for travelers whose main interest is cycling, with downtown also nearby.
The stay has a more independent character than a large hotel. Plan rides around the open Abingdon–Damascus section: the upper Damascus–Whitetop section remains closed, with reopening announced for March 31, 2027, subject to the reconstruction schedule.
Hampton Inn Abingdon
Hampton Inn Abingdon is near I-81 and provides a contemporary base for travelers who value parking, breakfast and a familiar hotel format. The location is useful for arriving by road and reaching the town center.
It suits families and travelers combining Abingdon with wider regional outings. Check the room type and travel route to the places you intend to visit rather than assuming a downtown pedestrian setting.
Planning your visit
The Martha emphasizes history and theater access, Black’s Fort a quieter setting, Creeper’s End the trail and Hampton road convenience. Confirm the open trail section before arranging cycling transfers.
