Sitting in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Ramada Inn in Lynchburg, Va., is a full-service corporate and leisure hotel. In addition to the seasonal and regional cuisine at the hotel's Seasons Restaurant, the Ramada offers families, groups and business travelers enough meeting, conference and banquet facilities for about 250 people and a catering department to feed them.
What's more, the Ramada rolls out the red carpet for groups, and even blocks off sections of guestrooms to ease the check-in process. Group members can get package breakfast plans and pre- packaged leisure itineraries for golf, historic tours and progressive dinners. The parking lot is big enough for their buses and family recreational vehicles.

For corporate travelers, meanwhile, business guestrooms at this three-story, 209-room Ramada include work stations, two-line data port phones, coffeemakers and other amenities. The pet-friendly hotel's business center also includes high-speed Internet access.

But doing business isn't the only game in town. The Ramada is within an hour's drive of more than 70 attractions, including hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains or on the Appalachian Trail; swimming and boating on Smith Mountain Lake, one of the country's largest man-made lakes; skiing at nearby Wintergreen Resort; or visiting Colonial Williamsburg and Liberty University, the college founded by the Rev. Jerry Falwell. The hotel is close to a 22-screen movie theater, shopping malls and restaurants. Air travelers are just five miles from Lynchburg Regional Airport.

The Ramada also features such perks as complimentary hot breakfasts, outdoor pool, fitness center and room service from Seasons.
