Located on the first six floors of the former R.J. Reynolds building is the Kimpton Cardinal Hotel in Winston-Salem North Carolina. Builders finished the building in 1923. The building has 21 floors. It served as an inspiration for the construction of the Empire State building. Guests staying at the Kimpton Cardinal Hotel can see some of the best Art Deco details in the Piedmont Triangle. We hope that you love this Kimpton Cardinal Hotel in Winston-Salem North Carolina post.
The charm of this hotel starts at its Art Deco entryway. The grand lobby has marble floors and extremely strong geometric lines. In true Southern style, hosts serve a cool glass of sweet tea to guests upon arrival. Once registered, ride the elevator with its ornate brass door to your floor. A contemporary style permeates each of the rooms. Most have minibars, large televisions and other amenities to keep guests comfortable. A yoga mat is also provided in each room.
Each room has its own design. Many of the rooms have whimsical details. For example, a bedside table suspended from ropes is reminiscent of a porch swing. In another room, a deer head stares down from above the bed. Craftspeople in North Carolina created many of the pieces. The Kimpton Cardinal hotel also accepts all pets. If you are lonely, they will give you a goldfish to keep you company for the night.
