Once again, this place never fails to amaze. The Carolina Inn is a wonderfully run exhibit of Southern Hospitality located within walking distance of everything you could want in Chapel Hill. This time, I ate at the restaurant in the hotel, Crossroads Carolina, and was wowed by the food. Locally sourced and adhering to sustainable practices, the food was truly... More

This past stay was the 2nd time I've stayed at The Carolina Inn. I usually tag along when my husband has a meetings somewhere that I find interesting. This time I jumped at the chance just because it was The Carolina Inn. I especially love the lobby with all the yellows and beautiful flower and plant arrangements. The hotel is... More

Always beautifully decorated for the seasons in the rooms and in the common rooms. A breath of Southern charm. A short walk to all things Carolina. Do you want to be pampered? This is the place. What a wonderful bed - More

I stayed at the Carolina Inn while attending a meeting there. The hotel is elegantly decorated and the room I was given was lovely, with excellent quality bed linens and towels. The bathroom was clean and nice, with a robe and especially nice toiletries. The room had a large flat screen TV, but no minibar. The hotel has 2 elevators,... More

Our friends had their wedding reception at the Carolina Inn this weekend. We also stayed there. The service and food were outstanding. It is a beautiful inn and if you are a UNC fan you really should stay here. All of the historic UNC pictures & memorabilia were very cool. The wedding reception food and service were fantastic. The location... More

Often when you visit a hotel, the things you notice are the little problem areas--worn carpet-poor color scheme, etc. What sets this place apart is how perfect everything is! The decor, the colors, the wall hangings were perfectly coordinated, creating an ambiance of elegance along every corridor. More

This 87-year old magnificent property has been beautifully restored. The rooms, amenities, restaurants, and service are all first rate. It is located immediately adjacent to campus and Franklin Street, and is only a short 15-minute walk to Kenan Stadium and Smith Center, home of the best college basketball program in the nation. The Crossroads Dining Room probably offers the finest... More

We had a wonderful time connecting with old friends, and as always, the Carolina Inn was beautiful, clean and the staff is pleasant. We stay there at least once or twice a year and we are never disappointed! More

Stay at the Carolina Inn if you want to truly experience the southern charm of Chapel Hill. The rooms are lovely, the staff is delightful and it is a pleasant stroll across the street to the university and downtown. The fitness area has quality equipment, TVs, lemon water, nice towels, personal headphones and a Duke punching bag (fun to pose... More
