CHATHAM, Va. â Exactly 25 miles separate the Red Carpet Inn & Suites in Danville from the Hampton Inn in Gretna. Local leaders recently referred to this stretch from North Danville nearly two-thirds of the way to the Campbell County line as a âhotel desert.â Soon, a 30,000-capacity amphitheater, the sprawl of a Caesarâs casino resort, the Olde Dominion Agricultural Complex, two boarding schools of national recognition and other prominent features will all lie between these two lodging options. It begs the question: Why is the seat of Pittsylvania County still without a hotel?
âWe actually lose events because of that,â said John Harris, executive director of the Olde Dominion Agricultural Complex in Chatham. âPeople make a decision on whether to have an event here or not based on hotel availability. I get plenty of events and I work plenty of deals, but I have lost events based on hotel availability.â
