Kimpton Cardinal Hotel By Ihg - Historic Art Deco landmark with French dining and recreation amenities in downtown Winston-Salem

Located in the iconic R.J. Reynolds Building, this 4-star Winston-Salem hotel features 174 guestrooms including 15 suites across 6375 square feet. The Katharine, an elegant French-inspired brasserie, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with locally-sourced ingredients. The property houses a 1867-square-foot recreation center complete with a basketball court, bowling alley, and two-story spiral slide. Business travelers benefit from 20th-floor meeting rooms overlooking the city. Guest rooms showcase tartan fabrics, bronze finishes, and modern artwork. The Kimpton Cardinal sits in downtown's center, walking distance to the Arts District's galleries and craft breweries. Wake Forest University and Old Salem Museum & Gardens are within a short drive.

Pros

The property occupies the architectural inspiration for the Empire State Building

On-site recreation center features unique amenities including bowling and basketball

Pet-friendly policy with no size restrictions or additional fees

Complimentary morning coffee service and evening wine hour

Cons

Located 25 miles from Piedmont Triad International Airport

Some downtown attractions require transportation

“This property stands out with its unique history as the former R.J. Reynolds building and recreational amenities like a bowling alley; its commitment to social experiences, such as the complimentary evening wine hour, also sets it apart. While the on-site dining features Southern cuisine, the location near local attractions makes it an appealing base. Overall, it's a distinctive experience with some appealing extras.”
