"My expectations were higher."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Disappointed in my stay. Room near outside HVAC unit which was loud most of the night. Mold/Mildew on shower head. Nice game room with broken pool sticks. Complimentary coffee was empty 2of the three mornings so I had to wait. Valet parking was good but very expensive. First time I have ever had a bad stay at a IHG property.

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.
