Fodor's Expert Review The Longleaf Hotel

300 N. Dawson St., Raleigh, North Carolina, 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
