The buzz of Danville's River District.
The Bee emerges as a chic urban oasis, blending Danville's rich history with modern luxury in the lively River District. Once the headquarters for the area's iconic newspaper, Danville Register & Bee, this reimagined boutique hotel now offers a sophisticated escape for travelers, marrying its storied past with contemporary elegance.
A love letter to urban boutique style.
The Bee comprises two historic buildings in the River District: 'Old Bee' and 'New Bee.' This boutique hotel honors its legacy by preserving the original features that made these buildings great. You may notice the original wood floors in the halls of Old Bee, the original spiral staircase from the press room to the editor's office, and the original newsboy figurine above the front entrance of New Bee. These historical elements blend with modern amenities to create a truly unique stay.
Your hive of luxury.
Home to 47 guestrooms, The Bee takes its cues from the style pages. Thanks to the sleek contemporary furnishings, warm wood finishes, rich textures, and just the right amount of shimmer, you're sure to feel luxurious. The tech-forward amenities bring this piece of Danville history into the present, including essentials like high-speed WiFi, Smart TVs for streaming, and a convenient work desk with an ergonomic chair.
While The Bee doesn't host its own dining facilities, nearly half of the property's guestrooms are equipped with fully stocked kitchens. If you're only staying for a few nights or would prefer to go out to eat, The Bee's prime River District location places you just steps away from Danville's finest farm-to-table restaurants. The hotel's proximity to a diverse array of eateries is an invitation to explore and savor the local culinary scene, offering a seamless extension of the boutique hotel experience.
