The Monticello Hotel was an historic hotel built in 1898 on Monticello Avenue in Norfolk, Virginia. The original hotel was destroyed by a fire on New Years Day in 1918, a day so cold that the water from the fire equipment froze before it could reach the fire. The hotel was rebuilt in 1919, with two additional stories added, and operated until it was demolished in 1976, kicking off Norfolk's urban renewal project.
The Norfolk Federal Building currently sits on the old Monticello Hotel site.
