Orkney Springs Hotel is a historic resort spa complex located at Orkney Springs, Shenandoah County, Virginia. The oldest building, known as Maryland House, was built in 1853, and is a two-story, rectangular stuccoed frame building. It is faced on all sides by double galleries. The main hotel building, known as Virginia House, was built between 1873 and 1876. It is a four-story, stuccoed frame, H-shaped building measuring 100 feet by 165 feet and features a three-story verandah. The hotel contains 175 bedrooms. The remaining contributing resources are the three-story Pennsylvania House (1867), seven identical two-story, six-room, hipped roof cottages, and a small columned pavilion located next to the mineral springs.^[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.^[1] It is currently owned by the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, which operates it and several surrounding buildings as Shrine Mont, a retreat center which also contains the diocese's Cathedral Shrine of the Transfiguration.
