"One of the best hotels we?ve stayed at."
Overall score5.0/ 5
My husband and I came into town for a business trip and stayed at the Winston Salem Kimpton. This was our second time staying here and it exceeded our expectations. Our stay keeps getting better. There was so many activities down in the Rec room to keep our children entertained. They even had bikes and scooters for our leisure. The food at the Katherine restaurant was very good, the hotel staff is always friendly, accommodating, courteous and very professional. From House keeping, to valet and the front desk. We look forward to staying here again on our next business trip. We Highly recommend the Kimpton.

"A Puppies Dream."
Overall score5.0/ 5
Our stay we delightful, easy and just what we needed as first time puppy owners trying to figure things out. We stayed here because of the reputation and it did not disappoint. We arrived just moments after picking up the puppy from the breeder. We were given a large room so she has space to play, near the elevator so we could get down quickly when we needed to. The staff were spot on and very pleasant from Justin and Juwan at the Front Desk to Tyler at the Valet, whom despite us not valet our car was one of the most welcome of all the staff and knew our names after only being told once. We had a welcome amenity to congratulate us and were invited to grab a drink to settle our nerves. We felt truly looked after so we could focus on our little furry four legs. I would encourage anyone to stay here. There were other pets in the building but we weren't near them, so we truly felt like the staff understood what we needed and paid close attention to detail.

"My new favorite Hotel! fancy and family friendly!"
Overall score5.0/ 5
My son (13) and I stayed here the night before he took the SSAT in Winston Salem. The hotel was amazing! SO beautiful, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Our room was clean, very large and comfortable. Best part was learning that there is a mini bowling alley/ basket ball court with pool tables, ping pong, shuffleboard and more in a ?game room? in the basement. We spent hours after dinner playing pool and shuffleboard. Such a cool, fun place.

Property description

Built in 1929, the R.J. Reynolds building was the architectural inspiration for New York City's Empire State Building. Today it remains an endearing icon in the Winston-Salem skyline, still grandly representing the timeless traditions of the South.Re-imagined as The Kimpton Cardinal Hotel, this historic landmark welcomes you with modern flair. Our lushly designed living room beckons with social seating areas and Sweet Tea Hour. Savor locally sourced dishes at The Katharine, our own American brasserie. Swanky ballrooms and gathering spaces host memorable meetings, events and weddings. All in a glamorous ambience of Art Deco flourishes, metallic finishes and cardinal-red details in unexpected places.The Kimpton Cardinal Hotel gives you countless ways to rev up the heart rate ? and then simmer it back down. Witness our 1867-square-foot fitness center and recreation room, with a basketball court, bowling alley and even a twisty slide. Work out the kinks later with an in-room massage. Ride around downtown on a cruiser bike. Yes, this is one hotel in Winston-Salem you don't have to leave to have it all.
