FREDERICKSBURG, VA – Fredericksburg, a town deeply-rooted in American history, is about to embrace a new chapter in its rich narrative with the impending opening of The Publisher, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel.

The Publisher Hotel will join Marriott Bonvoy’s Tribute Portfolio, a growing family of global hotels drawn together by their passion for captivating design, sincere service, and vibrant social spaces, made for guests and locals alike.

Built and owned by Fredericksburg-based Vakos Companies, The Publisher Hotel is set to become a beacon of modern storytelling and a future keepsake of downtown Fredericksburg. Slated to open on July 18th, 2024, the hotel now stands nearby the home of George Washington’s mother, Mary Washington, and the Lewis/Washington family farm.

Inspired by the legacy of the city’s oldest newspaper and the site’s last occupant, The Free Lance Star, The Publisher will be more than a place to stay; it embodies Fredericksburg’s vibrant history where guests can uncover fascinating stories and share them in their unique way. The Publisher will be the community’s new central connector, inviting travelers from around the world to write their chapters among the town’s captivating stories.

“Fredericksburg is more than a destination; it’s a tapestry of tales waiting to be unveiled. The Publisher Hotel represents the essence of the community’s spirit while celebrating the decorated history of the city’s past,” said Collin Vakos, Fredericksburg native and developer of the 98-room historic property. “We are delighted to invite the world to experience the warmth of our great city’s hospitality and become part of its ongoing story.”

Guests at The Publisher can expect an upscale and accommodating hospitality experience, featuring a striking first impression within the sophisticated lobby, a locally-inspired destination bar and restaurant from a decorated restauranteur, flexible reception space, and restorative room accommodations that emanate a contemporary, classy cool vibe. The hotel’s design aesthetic is thoughtfully-inspired by Fredericksburg’s patriotic past with bold contrasts and locally-sourced art.

“Like any good story, a stay at The Publisher will always leave you wanting more. Its unexpected aesthetic will not only captivate guests, but also stimulate inspiration to create and share stories that have never been told,” said Vakos. “To us, The Publisher is more than a hotel; it’s a living story waiting to be shared with generations to come.”

As a newly minted member of the Tribute Portfolio, The Publisher will participate in Marriott Bonvoy – the award-winning travel program from Marriott International – allowing members to earn and redeem points for their stay at the new hotel, and at other hotels and resorts across Marriott Bonvoy’s extraordinary portfolio of brands.
