Property Introduction The Carolina Inn is a AAA Four Diamond hotel, a landmark historic property listed with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and a member of Historic Hotels of America. In addition, The Carolina CrossRoads Restaurant is regionally recognized as one of the finest restaurants having garnered the Mobil Four Star and AAA Four Diamond ratings. Located in the heart of downtown Chapel Hill and on the doorsteps of the University of North Carolina, The Carolina Inn is within walking distance to many of the schools, library, and sports venues on campus, approximately 25 minutes from the Raleigh Durham airport (RDU) and 15 minutes from Research Triangle Park (RTP). There are 177 rooms plus 7 suites in The Carolina Inn. The hotel also boasts over 13,000 square feet of meeting space including three ballrooms, formal parlors and a cozy sunroom. In addition to The Carolina CrossRoads Restaurant, The Carolina Inn possesses stunning outdoor venues to host high-end social functions and events. The Caroline Inn will soon be embarking on the first phase of a multi-phase restoration plan for the guest rooms and public areas. From the day it opened in 1924, the Inn has played an important role in the life of the University of North Carolina and the Chapel Hill community, and it has long been one of the most popular sites in North Carolina for special events, weddings, business meetings, and academic conferences. The Inn was built by John Sprunt Hill, a UNC graduate who, in 1935, gave the Inn to the University to serve as a cheerful inn for visitors, a town hall for the state, and a home for returning sons and daughters of alma mater. Still owned by the University of North Carolina, as per the original deed, profits generated from the operation of the inn are given back the university to fund the library system. In addition to having a rich cultural history, The Carolina Inn is architecturally significant, blending elements of antebellum Southern plantation houses with Georgian and neoclassical features often found in the Northeast. The original front of the building was modeled after the Potomac River front of Mt. Vernon.
