Honeymoon Suite
The Grelen Depot includes a luxury suite known as The 118, which boasts two rooms and is located on the second floor. This elegant space comprises a living room, a bedroom and a lavish full bathroom. While it was originally designed with honeymooning couples in mind, it also serves as an ideal "getting ready" suite for weddings hosted at The Depot (or in the area). It can also be rented as a relaxing retreat for anyone wishing to discover the many attractions of Central Virginia.
