History
Built in 1916, the beautifully restored Maridor Bed & Breakfast is an elegant example of Colonial Revival architecture with Federal Style detailing.

Maridor received its name from its third owner, Marion Augustus Smyth, President of National Business College, who re-named the home "Maridor" after his two children, Marion and Dorothy.

Maridor is within easy walking distance of the lovely Grandin Village with its many specialty shops, restaurants or the renowned Grandin Theatre. Downtown Roanoke is a short drive away, as is the wonderful and picturesque Blue Ridge Parkway. Roanoke College, Hollins University, Ferrum College and Virginia Tech University are also within a short distance.

Common Areas
Guests are invited to enjoy the luxurious common areas of the house, which include a bright and airy sun-porch, an over sized living room with down filled chairs and sofas and a beckoning fireplace, or the intimate library. A wonderful, partially enclosed outdoor porch allows guests to enjoy the gardens regardless of the weather.

Each over sized bedroom features an antique or reproduction queen or king sized bed and a private bath, complete with vintage accessories. Soaking tubs and pedestal sinks take the visitor back to a long forgotten era. All rooms afford the guest ample seating, and suite rooms offer adjacent private sun-porches for the guest's enjoyment. Imported linens and comfortable surroundings insure the guest a truly pampered experience.

Your stay at Maridor will be complemented by the graciousness of your hosts who assure you a truly unforgettable experience. Great attention has been given to the careful restoration of this fine property and we look forward to sharing it with you.
