The Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Located in the charming town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is one of America's most enchanting inns. The Carolina Inn, a AAA Four-Diamond Award property, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and originally opened in 1924. It is architecturally noteworthy, as it marries elements of antebellum styles with Georgian and neoclassical features. Part of the Destination Hotels & Resorts collection of posh properties, The Carolina Inn is located on the actual campus of the University of North Carolina, and is a popular hideaway for intellectuals and socialites. You will find a collection of well-appointed guest rooms including seven luxury suites, with a palette of rich colors, priceless antiques and cozy furnishings that resemble those found in a lavish Southern estate.

Reviews for The Carolina Inn

As a graduate of UNC, I was more than pleased with the renovations that were completed a couple of years ago. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in the reno rivals that of buildings erected for royalty in past centuries. The rich Southern decor has been preserved in the rooms and public areas. Food, service and staff were also of the highest quality. The one downside for me, because I have dined at the inn many times over the years, was that the intimate restaurant with it's yellows and cobalt blues and the clubby bar with its relaxing atmosphere have been replaced with a very large contemporary styled restaurant that looks like so many others. But any visitor not tied by memory to the inn will love it, and I am sure the change creates a much better flow on game weekends. It's a VERY short walk to the lively scene on Franklin Street or the main campus. This property has always been an amazing plus for the university and is better than ever.

Excellent hotel and staff. Beautiful property and outstanding experience. I would definitely stay at the Carolina Inn again and would highly recommend the hotel to my friends and colleagues. I am looking forward to returning!

My daughter and I stayed here on the way to pick her sister up from camp. The hotel, staff, rooms and dining were fantastic and exemplified the best of the South. We took the opportunity to explore the UNC campus before we left as the Inn is conveniently located in the heart of campus. I highly recommend this propert.

I had heard great things about the Carolina Inn for years, but decided to find out for myself on a recent trip to Chapel Hill. It really is THAT fantastic! The service is 5-star, the rooms are comfortable and well-appointed and my meal at Crosswinds was one of the best that I have in a long, long time. Carolina Inn really is as good as what you hear!
