Choosing to visit the Raleigh-Durham area is easy, deciding where you’ll stay is not. Accommodations here range from the luxurious suites of posh hotels and the comfortable rooms at bed and breakfast inns to the no-nonsense basics of budget hotels.
Raleigh/Inside the Beltline
If a historic downtown locale is more to your liking, the Velvet Cloak Inn is a good choice. The understated elegance of the Inn is enhanced by its convenient locale. The spacious atrium at the Embassy Suites Hotel Crabtree Valley is decorated with colorful, tropical plants. Expect comfortable rooms here with service to match. The Courtyard Raleigh Crabtree Valley features luxurious rooms that come with whirlpools and fireplaces, perfect for those looking to come back to their room at night and relax. Their on-site restaurant offers an elegant dining atmosphere and contemporary cuisine.
Durham
Golf lovers with deep pockets will want to make reservations at the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club. Fashioned after an English country inn, it offers the best amenities in regal surroundings accented by antiques from the Duke family’s private collection. Its highly rated golf course and award-winning restaurant make it a winner all around. The Millennium Hotel Durham is a full-service hotel catering to the business traveler. Meeting and banquet rooms, conference suites and an executive boardroom are all available on the premises.
Chapel Hill
The Siena Hotel, an Italian boutique hotel, and the first of its kind in the region, is perhaps the most luxurious choice in the Triangle. A favorite destination for lovers looking for a romantic retreat, this hotel is filled with plush Italian furniture and antiques. One of the biggest draws here is the complimentary full breakfast at Il Palio Ristorante, the AAA four-diamond rated restaurant located on the premises. A historic hotel in the area is the Carolina Inn. Opened in 1924, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and offers the chance to stay in a place reminiscent of the Antebellum South. Located near the Triangle is the Fearrington House Country Inn. The elegant surroundings of this English country inn are complemented by the southern hospitality of the staff. Surrounded by lush gardens, it is set a few minutes from Chapel Hill in Fearrington Village, a lovely place to shop and dine.
Research Triangle Park (RTP)
The Research Triangle Park brings many visitors here with the express purpose of attending to business, and the concentration of hotels around RTP caters to them. The Sheraton Imperial Hotel & Convention Center offers easy access to RTP, local universities and major medical centers, with amenities aimed at business people. The meeting space is large enough to handle groups of all sizes, and there is a business center on site. The Club Level offers concierge service and a private lounge. DoubleTree Guest Suites is a resort-like hotel in Durham, convenient to RTP. Business facilities and amenities are a big attraction, as is the array of recreational activities available. The popular Executive Suites are big enough to handle meetings of up to 10. After you close the deal, swim, play tennis or hop on one of the bikes available and explore a biking trail.
Wyndham Garden Hotel, located within RTP, has an all-day airport shuttle, large work areas in each room and plenty of recreational activities to work off the effects of a stressful day. This hotel puts a special emphasis on female guests with its “Women on Their Way” program.
