Raleigh's luxury hotel scene centers on three key districts: the walkable downtown core near the State Capitol, the upscale North Hills shopping and dining area, and the corridor nearest Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Presidential suites in these properties typically range from $250 to $600 per night, depending on season and included amenities. Business travelers and weekend visitors alike find the city-center properties most convenient, while airport-area hotels suit those with early departures or late arrivals.
The most sought-after presidential suites sit in properties like The Stateview Hotel, Autograph Collection, which places guests 5 km from the State Capitol with access to an ATM, bar, and outdoor pool. The Westin Raleigh-Durham Airport earns high marks for its Italian restaurant and attentive staff, while the Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley offers 47-inch SMART TVs with Netflix in every room. For those who prefer a more residential feel, the Renaissance Raleigh North Hills Hotel sits in the heart of the shopping district, just 5 minutes' drive from downtown Raleigh.
