Kimpton Cardinal Hotel (Winston-Salem, North Carolina) 2 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Who knew the old R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company headquarters in Winston-Salem, North Carolina was the original inspiration for the Empire State Building? A hotelier could hardly ask for a more architecturally distinguished starting point than this 1929 Art Deco skyscraper right at the heart of Winston-Salem’s newly resurgent downtown district. Kimpton, true to form, adapts their accessible, light-hearted boutique-hotel style to its surroundings, and the result, in the Kimpton Cardinal Hotel, is a delightful throwback to a mid-century era that’s frankly more fantasy than reality." - Tablet Hotels
