The Umstead Hotel and Spa is one of the best luxury boutique hotels in Raleigh, North Carolina. Nestled on 12 acres of lakefront landscape, it is a sanctuary for exploring Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. The 150 rooms are spacious and sumptuous, with the smallest standing at 540 sq ft. They are each adorned with classy furnishings, privately curated artwork, and a marble bathroom with a deep soaking tub.
At the heart of the hotel is its expansive outdoor pool deck, surrounded by lounge beds, cabanas, and lush greenery. You can also go for a plunge in the outdoor hot tub, break a sweat at the 24-hour fitness center, or enjoy a treatment at the in-house spa. For meals, Herons is the signature restaurant that celebrates fresh produce from local growers and One Oak Farm, the hotel’s very own farm, less than a mile away.
