The Vance Hotel
Statesville, North CarolinaA planned historic rehabilitation of the landmark Vance Hotel in downtown Statesville into a 72-room Marriott Tribute Portfolio property. The project preserves the grand architecture and heritage of Louis H. Asbury's original 1919 building while introducing modern boutique amenities — a signature restaurant and bar, a lobby lounge with historic ambiance, and a basement speakeasy reimagining the Prohibition-era lore of the structure.
Preserving the past — building the future.
The Vance will honor the original Asbury design intent — keeping or rebuilding existing walls where possible, preserving major architectural elements, and minimizing invasive demolition. The result will be a boutique experience that blends classic early-20th-century elegance with the comforts of a modern Marriott Tribute property in the heart of downtown Statesville.
