Overview
Graylyn Estate looks more like a stone castle than a hotel and guests say a stay here is an enchanting experience. Previous visitors said everything from room decor to the complimentary breakfast buffet to the impeccable service made their stays memorable. Set on 55 acres in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, just south of Wake Forest University, Graylyn Estate houses 86 rooms across a few different buildings and cottages, and all of the accommodations are decorated a bit differently. Some rooms come equipped with ornamental fireplaces and 17-head showers while others feature hand-painted tile marble tubs and spacious sitting areas. The estate is also home to ample on-site conference facilities and offerings, including a conference center, catering options and team-building opportunities. As far as other amenities go, the property features a seasonal outdoor pool, two fitness centers and two restaurants (one of which offers a four-course dinner nightly). The only thing some previous patrons were disappointed with was that it seemed this hotel caters highly to meetings and weddings, meaning its grounds were often busy.

Critic Reviews
Set across the road from Wake Forest University and the Reynolda House museum, it has evolved into the region's most engaging commercial roost, though it proffers enough recreation for leisure folk to constitute a genuine resort.
I love Biltmore, but if I had my choice, I think I’d prefer a stay at Graylyn. It’s a mansion with intimately luxurious and cozy private and public rooms.
South Florida Business Journal
Repositioning Graylyn to become not just a conference center but also a luxury boutique hotel was not a quick process. It required several changes in 2014 and this year, including the addition of high-end amenities that leisure travelers expect (think room service, dining, bicycles for exploring the property) and two new positions: director of room operations and director of food and beverage.
