Stay in this downtown inn that feels more like a home.
In downtown Raleigh, an 1880s Folk Victorian home stands as an intimate, adults-only eight-room retreat, saved from demolition and moved six blocks through downtown to become a design-forward haven flooded with natural light. Behind its meticulously preserved facade, soft textures and thoughtful details create spaces that feel both historically grounded and thoroughly modern.
This boutique took the scenic route.
Sunlight streams through tall windows and skylights, illuminating spaces where historic details blend seamlessly with modern design. The parlor's cozy vibe sets the stage for intimate gatherings, while the study's calming atmosphere creates a retreat for readers. Outside, a courtyard shaded by a century-old pecan tree frames perfect views of the downtown skyline.
A love note to Raleigh.
Eight distinct guestrooms range from the Historic Suite, with its exposed beams and original fireplace, to intimate queen rooms filled with natural light. Premium linens, organic cotton bathrobes, and luxury bath essentials complement the refined design. Modern amenities like sound machines and custom climate control ensure comfort while honoring the home's historic character.
Start your morning with freshly brewed in-room coffee before heading to the communal kitchen area to pick up a light continental breakfast of granola, yogurt, and fresh fruit. Enjoy your morning meal in the light-filled nook or take it to the courtyard, where the skyline view pairs perfectly with that first cup of coffee. While there's no onsite restaurant, the historic streets of downtown Raleigh are filled with celebrated cafes and bistros just steps away.
