Glass Light Hotel & Gallery, Autograph Collection  

In the heart of Downtown Norfolk’s Local Historic District, a boutique hotel and glass art gallery sits steps from Town Point Park, Nauticus and the USS Wisconsin. Walk to the Waterside District, MacArthur Center, Wells Theater and Norfolk Scope in minutes.

Housed in a reimagined 1912 Art Deco building, the hotel showcases glass art by masters such as Peter Bremers and Lino Tagliapietra. About 113 rooms and suites pair gallery-style decor with modern comforts like in-room espresso makers, rainfall showers, designer toiletries and plush bathrobes.

Stay active in the fitness center or take a moment in the garden. The property offers complimentary wireless internet, concierge services, an on-site restaurant and bar, and paid self-parking—perfect for city-view mornings and art-filled evenings.

A 24-hour business center and roughly 1,600–1,700 sq ft of flexible event space across multiple meeting rooms make it easy to host small conferences or private gatherings. Additional services include dry cleaning, safe-deposit box and concierge support.

The ground-floor restaurant and bar focus on locally sourced, seasonal small plates and cocktails. Weekday cooked-to-order breakfasts are available for a fee to fuel your downtown explorations.
