The Carolina Inn, A Destination Hotel

The Carolina Inn offers 185 beautifully appointed guestrooms and suites in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Located on the campus of the University of North Carolina, the historic hotel has earned the AAA Four Diamond Award since 1997. The North Carolina landmark is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The hotel was built in 1924 by U.N.C. alumnus John Sprunt Hill and designed by award-winning architect Arthur C. Nash, who designed a number of other university landmarks. Hill gifted the hotel in 1935 to the university and stipulated that all profits were to be used to support the university's library. Today, the Inn is still owned by U.N.C. and continues to support the North Carolina Collection at the Wilson Library. It is managed by international boutique hotelier Destination Hotels. A series of renovations have brought modern sophistication in guest comfort and amenities. Historical charm remains as does its rich history with U.N.C. families and alumni, and its integral relationship with Chapel Hill.
