HOTEL FAUNA

Hotel Fauna is the anchor property of Fauna & Flora, the re-imagined former school complex in Bedford, Virginia. The former Bedford Middle School will now be known as Flora, housing 58 one and two-bedroom market-rent apartments; The Public School building will become the 30-room Hotel Fauna and include a large restaurant, bar, and event space in the former gymnasium/auditorium.

Created by Waukeshaw Development, Fauna & Flora draws inspiration from the native plants and animals of the region and celebrates the natural history and beauty of Bedford and its surroundings. Campus features will include a green roof and rooftop deck at the apartment building, magnificent views of the Peaks of Otter, native plantings on the campus grounds, an interactive human-size bird nest, and nods to native species throughout the interior design.

Retro Hospitality serves as consultant for the Hotel Fauna and will manage the property after its Spring 2025 opening.
