Glass Light Hotel & Gallery, Autograph Collection - A boutique art hotel with French-inspired dining and historic architectural features in Downtown Norfolk

Located in the heart of Downtown Norfolk's Granby Street, this Norfolk hotel occupies the historic Royster Building, featuring original architectural elements including an exposed brick facade and vintage brass mail chute. The Glass Light Hotel & Gallery showcases rotating art pieces throughout its spaces, including signature six-foot glass bunnies by Dutch artist Peter Bremers in the lobby. Guest rooms span 280 to 553 square feet, equipped with Frette linens, flat-screen TVs, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering city views. The Glass Light restaurant serves French-inspired New American cuisine with seasonal ingredients, complemented by a dedicated bar space. For business travelers, the property provides meeting venues ranging from a 255-square-foot boardroom to spaces for mid-sized conferences. The hotel stands 656.2 ft from MacArthur Square and 9.5 miles from Norfolk International Airport. The property's position offers direct access to the waterfront and the NEON District, known for its performing arts venues and boutique shops.

Gourmet Delights

“During my stay, I dined in the hotel restaurant for breakfast, and I have to say, the Croque Madame was by far one of the best meals I've had on the road! The attention to detail in the presentation was excellent, and to top it off, the Executive Chef even checked in with patrons, made the experience feel very personalized and special.” view full review

Fine Accommodations

“My room was beautifully appointed with a comfortable bed and a fantastic shower head/wand combo. I loved the clever design elements, including a motion-activated sink light that added a modern touch. Everything was clean and well-maintained, making my stay feel luxurious and relaxing.” view full review

Well-Designed Space

“The bathroom setup was excellent, with a separate shower with both a rain shower head and a handheld option. This setup added to my overall comfort during my stay. Despite a few quirks, the bathroom overall was stylish and functional, enhancing my experience.” view full review

In-Room Entertainment

“I appreciated the in-room entertainment options with access to Max for free, allowing me to log into Netflix during my downtime. After a long day, it was nice to wind down and enjoy some quality shows right from the comfort of my room.” view full review
