The Longleaf Hotel

$$$ | 300 N. Dawson St., Raleigh, NC, 27603, USA Fodor's Choice

What was once a run-down mid-century motor lodge is now downtown's coolest place to stay, thanks to an overhaul with retro-chic furnishings, trellises with climbing vines, and a sage-and-neutrals color scheme that extends to the lobby coffee shop and lounge. The bar's patio is a hot spot for locals on weekend evenings.

Pros

  • Fixtures, furnishings, and amenities from local artisans
  • Hip, funky motif that's cool as can be
  • One of the best bars in town

Cons

  • No pool
  • No common spaces outside of the bar-lounge
  • It's a hike if you walk to the heart of downtown
