The Carolina Inn


Recognized as one of America's "cultural resources worthy of preservation," The Carolina Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 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. 

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 UNC, the Inn is managed by Doubletree Hotels.

Guest rooms feature working desks, data ports, two telephone lines, voice mail, individual climate control, complimentary USA Today delivered to your guest room daily (M-F), pay-per-view movies, Nintendo, electronic locks, and express check-in and check-out service, and complimentary coffee, (non-smoking guest rooms available). Best of all--freshly baked Doubletree chocolate chip cookies when you arrive!
