Best Wedding Hotels in North Carolina

Standing in the heart of Chapel Hill and roughly 32 miles northwest of Raleigh, North Carolina, The Carolina Inn has welcomed guests since 1924 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It features a mixture of classic Southern charm and contemporary convenience: Guest rooms are outfitted with four-poster beds and antique artwork, as well as LCD flat-screen televisions, minifridges and complimentary Wi-Fi access. The Carolina Crossroads Restaurant and Bar's decor recalls the early 20th century South, while staff serves homestyle dishes with a modern twist. Guests say that the inn's Southern hospitality truly shines through the friendly customer service. The only downside guests noted about this hotel was that the rooms and bathrooms were on the smaller side.

Surrounded by some of Charlotte's most popular attractions, including the NASCAR Hall of Fame and the Mint Museum Uptown, the Charlotte Marriott City Center makes a great home base for downtown exploration. Fairly large guest rooms contain bright red, gold and blue accents as well as high-tech amenities like iPod docks and wireless Internet (for a fee). While guests appreciated the in-room features, they noted the ongoing construction throughout the hotel during its refurbishment was a bit of a disruption. Visitors were also a bit disappointed by this Marriott property's rates and pricey fees for things like Internet access and parking. Though, Marriott Rewards members can save some coin by using points to book a stay here.
