Proximity Hotel (Greensboro, North Carolina) 6 Hotel Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Why Greensboro, North Carolina? Because that’s where the Proximity Hotel is — and a hotel like this deserves to get noticed no matter where in the world it’s located. It’s contemporary in design, it’s independently owned, it’s state-of-the-art in function, and it’s manageably small — all qualities we admire. But the central point to be made about the Proximity is that it’s got a genuine shot at being the greenest hotel in North America — and has the LEED Platinum certification to prove it." - Tablet Hotels

This was a return visit for my wife and me, and this time we brought friends of ours. As in the past we were welcomed by a very gracious staff, they could not have been more accommodating. Our rooms were ready early, and we were poolside by 2pm. The hotel is beautiful, and the rooms are very comfortable and quiet. This may sound strange, but the shower was amazing. The location is very good because of its location, the area is quiet and very close to everything, from restaurants, shopping and parks. We love this place and will be coming back for sure.

My wife and I spent a night here and ate supper at the Print Bistro restaurant. Booking, check-in, room service, check out was easy and efficient. The hotel was quiet in the rooms, but pleasant and airy in the indoor and outdoor lounge areas. Staff all friendly and helpful. The room had huge window, a useful full-length shelf, plenty of storage space, comfortable bed, and spacious bathroom. In-room breakfast was on tome and well done. I really have no complaints. This is a perfect setting for dinner-and-spend-the-night. We’ll come back and do it again.

One of the best hotels we have been in. Very cool feel to the building. Staff at the front is top notch, always paying attention to who is going or coming. Lots of nice places to sit and talk. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Bathroom was clean, bright and had a great feel to it. Would definitely recommend here.

What a wonderful anniversary! Your hotel is immaculate and your staff amazingly hospitable! It was a rainy day. We were met in the parking lot with umbrella service. Because of the warm welcome by text your staff were awaiting our arrival! I felt like a queen! Our room was beautifully appointed with every possible amenity. Your anniversary package was another unexpected surprise. Although we knew the items were apart of the package, it still was a gracious gesture. My husband said I slept so peacefully he had to check to see if I was breathing. The bed was a dream and the spa shower and bathroom a plus! Thank you for providing such care. It was good to get away! I’m excited about our local getaway, don’t be surprised if we have a reservation for our new “monthly anniversary”!

Amazing hotel and service! We stayed 3 nights this past weekend for a family wedding and it was wonderful. The hotel is beautiful and modern but unique. The restaurant attached is so cute and the rehearsal dinner and after party rooms we rented were gorgeous and perfect for the group! 10/10 recommend.

Thank you, Proximity. I’ve been coming here for years and it’s consistently on par with my favorite hotels in London Pall Mall & Saint James. Extremely pleasant and hospitable staff who seem to genuinely care and most all have infectious smiles. Their eagerness to please is refreshing and comforting. The rooms are spacious with beautiful views of weeping willows and meadows within this part of the city, and the floors and walls are solid with so little sound bleed through that the quiet really takes me by pleasant surprise. Thank you for the tranquil and beautifully appointed lobby areas as well, and an overall congratulations to you. ..And the Print Works Bistro… WOW!!! Outstanding.

This was one of my favorite hotels. The staff was lovely, attentive, and always helpful. The room was clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. The room was a good size for a family of 4 (two adults and 2 teens), which is hard to find. The room & hotel as a whole was very well thought out. It was quiet and relaxing. The lounge area on each floor with filtered water and drinks was brilliant. Loved the stay. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful room and most excellent service. Staff is attentive but not intrusive. The hotel is quiet and beautiful. It is attached to the Print Bistro which is outstanding. Loved it!!!! Amenities are wonderful and the rooms are very quiet. Highly recommend as a splurge!

Hubby and I went to visit the beautiful Proximity Hotel in Greensboro, NC. I initially wanted to visit for New Years but didn't have time so we went for Valentines Day. The Proximity Hotel is the top sustainable hotel in the country and its employee owned. The hotel and rooms were beautiful, the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the food was delicious!

I wanted to amend my prior review about the martini. Plus this should be Printworks review. We returned and I ordered a martini in a martini glass and it was awesome. Printworks is one of our favorite restaurants and has been over the years.

Nice hotel, great customer service by staff that actually have the benefit to buy in as owners as the hotel. The rooms are nice, the gym isn't much but has everything you need and the pool is cool. People go crazy over the Bistro...I don't it was good but not as great as they say BUT those crispy brussel sprouts...A-amazing!! My recommendation if you need to be in Greensboro this is the hotel for you! Didn't mention the living room areas outside of the room with complimentary drinks...non-alcoholic. Simply out great service, great rooms, good amenities and a great locations

My husband took me on a staycation and we usually go to the O'Henry. The hotel is cozy and the grounds are beautiful. However, I would love to see the rooms get a refresh as not much has changed over the years. We had a corner room but the mattress was not comfortable and resulted in a poor nights sleep. We had somewhere to be the next day but who doesn't love the unrushed 11am check out time?

Very nice hotel offering with spacious rooms and comfortable accommodations. Housekeeping took great care of me and the room was very clean. It's very centrally located, near plenty of the restaurants and shopping. Free parking was a pleasant surprise.

Beautiful hotel. It gives you great Gatsby feels. I stayed here on a work trip. The service was great. The room was comfortable, although I wasn't a fan of the beds I slept ok. A big draw is the good food located in the most elegant restaurant connected the hotel. I would definitely visit this hotel again. So much charm and elegance.

After visiting this hotel restaurant two month's we were very eager to give this hotel a try. As, we arrive the front desk lady explained to us the deal we book online how it works. This was very helpful as we planned our credits for a two night stay. Proximity has a industrial look and feeling with a fairytale vibe. Supe cool right! Everything you need right at your fingertips from a cozy stay to all your meals. We barely spend money during stay due to the amazing deal they are offering right now. We ate at the restaurant a few times and room service. The food was very delicious and they also have a foot long wine list. Something for everyone. If you are looking for a trip with no strings attached stay here. Thank me later

Private dining experience for a group was fantastic ! Beautiful venue ! Very attentive wait staff and so professional ! Great bar service and delicious food . The filet was so tender I cut it with the regular dinner knife . I guess they are so sure of the tenderness a steak knife wasn't provided ! Bravo!

I felt sad, I felt angry, I felt lonely, and I was bored on a cold, wet Saturday. What to do - I decided to do something WE'D intended to do for quite awhile before life got in the way - book a room at this beautiful hotel, and order up Moules-frites from Room Service (the version served here is outstanding) - and UNC was playing Gonzaga at 7 PM - this might work! The room was nice, very modern in style - a loft-style King room with windows aplenty, beautiful. and spacious in a shotgun sort of way, a bathroom to take home with you, towels and all! This particular room had a shower, but no tub, which was fine, and the shower head was awesome! The bed, dubbed Magi Bed by the hotel, was indeed one of the most comfortable I've slept in, and there were pillows everywhere! There were things that were off that kept this from being a great experience. The room was on the 3rd floor across from the rear of the restaurant and the dumpster and delivery area (not much of a view obviously), and there was constant noise for most of the late afternoon and early evening. The other off note was the thermostat did not work properly or had some sort of governor on it because no matter how I adjusted the temperature upward the room never got warmer. Additionally the seating area was small, and the chair and narrow couch were far from comfortable. The room service was amazing quick, no more than 20minutes from phone order to knock on the door. The mussels were as great as ever (I got the smaller plate), as was the House Salad with Green Goddess Dressing (remember that one?). The Tuna Tarter was not in the same class, at least for my taste - more than a bit sweet, never could really taste the tuna. I also ordered the Artisanal Cheese & Charcuterie but never received it. The lady who took the order even ask if I wanted both meat and cheese, and I said I did. So, some good things, some disappointing things, but I'm glad I did it, even though it was more than a little bittersweet.

Amazing experience. I've had to opportunity to have meetings at this hotel but never got to experience the rooms upstairs. Well let me tell you, the upstairs is just as nice as the downstairs. The rooms are elegant and very modern. I was on the top floor and the rooms come with extremely high ceilings. There are large windows with drapes that hang all the way to the floor. My room came with a nice sitting area and amenities station. My favorite part of the room was the bathroom. It was huge with a large tub in shower area. I was very impressed. Ultimately, the staff are the highlight of this hotel. They are so friendly and pleasant. They really take care of you. I don't believe I got past a single employee without a greeting of some sort. If you're in the Greensboro area I highly recommend that you stay at The Proximity. You will not be disappointed.

I really loved staying here. It reminded me a lot about the Ace Hotel in Manhattan (not that they actually have anything in common other than the general vibe of the halls as you walk through the place). Check in and out is easy and the rooms are quiet. The attached restaurant of the odd name Print Works Bistro is quite excellent as well. The only downside that you just had to take with the LEED certification was the water pressure -- as in there is not much pressure to be found in order to conserve water. Though I never used them I saw these neat cabs there and from the web site they seem to be used for: "Complimentary airport transportation to and from Greensboro PTI Airport is provided for all guests between 6 AM and 11 PM. When possible, we'll also provide transportation to nearby shopping, dining and entertainment for a fee."

I've been coming to Greensboro NC for 20 years. When I was a kid we would stay at some janky hotels in high point NC because that's where our convention is 2 times a year. My father found this hotel a while back, I want to say about 6 years ago and I have not stayed anywhere else ever since. I know it's owned by the O HENRY down the street but I love this hotel. It's clean, breakfast is amazing downstairs, service is great. Parking is easy. During summer when I'm there the parking is always packed! And the restaurant and bar downstairs is even more packed. I love that type of environment there. The rooms are amazing. Enough for 1 or 2 people. There are many great amenities near by if you need anything. Whole Foods down the street. Cheese cake factory. Ruth Chris. Everything. The rooms have nice views of a lake and It's Greensboro, everything is green around you and it's amazing. I whale recommended this hotel to a friend and he stayed there a few times and said verbatim "this place is beautifuuuuullllll" his name is Justin. Recommend this place EVERY SINGLE TIME

If I could give this hotel 6 stars I would because it's just that amazing! My husband surprised my son and I with a stay cation here so I had no idea that we were going and when we arrived I am sooo happy that he did. When we first arrived you can't help but notice the outside of the hotel it's stunning! The large windows and architecture is simply amazing! I was immediately drawn to the front entrance with the white and black curtains and their old timing cars. It was beautiful! The valet guy was very pleasant. He made sure they were accommodated with parking our car and getting inside of the hotel! When I walked in the automatic spinning doors was a great impression. I had never seen anything like it! The front desk guy was really nice as well, he asked questions about our travel and just all respectful! Which made me feel really welcomed. The lobby area and downstairs area was amazing as well! On sunnier days I can see this place being phenomenal but it was raining that didn't take away from its beauty. The inside of the room was great. The high ceilings made the room seem extremely big! Our favorite feature were the doors to the bathroom. It was a mirror but opened into the sleeping, it was the perfect Height to watch a movie and be in the tub! The tub is really deep and large! The bathroom was a classic black and white with minimal decor! We had a great view from the 8th floor. The overlooked a little bit of the place that we were in. They had robes available, magazines, a spot of music and a lot of places to sit! I also loved all of the mirrors. I could go on and on about the hotel. Overall the best I have stayed in thus far. Clean, beautiful and overall stunning!

I visited from DC and my girlfriend recommended this place for dinner. The decor is amazing and our waiter Jeff was awesome and highly helpful!!!!! The only thing as a side note: The shrimp risotto was overcooked and watery. The chocolate mousse was too dense and seems more like pudding. And finally the music was a little cheesy.

This was our first trip to Greensboro and I chose Proximity based on the great reviews and beautiful pictures on the website. We arrived about noon on a Friday and couldn't find any parking in the main lot. We drove further away in the lot and found something. The man who greeted us apologized and said there was a big event there that day. The lobby is gorgeous and there's also a beautiful lower level with lots of comfy seating. I had some work to do, so I brought it down there instead of sitting in the room. We upgraded to a corner suite and I loved it. My favorite part was probably the bathroom. Stylish and lots of natural light. There was a nice chaise lounge in the bedroom. Our floor had coffee, filtered water that you could use to fill the pitcher in your room, and an honor bar with tea and soda. There was also a printer and computer. It's nice that you don't have to go down to the lobby if you need something. We are at the restaurant twice and it was excellent. I'll do a separate review on that.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this hotel! Had to call the hotel when I was booking online as I was slightly confused by the room pricing. There was a "Best Available Rate" for $329/night or a "Sustainability" rate of $269/night. Ummmm... what's the difference? Would t the "best available rate BE the lower rate? Like, why would anyone purchase the higher rate if there was a lower rate, unless it came with something MORE? Well, turns out the SUSTAINABILITY rate came with more: early 2pm check-in and late 2pm check-out AND $30 credit for their restaurant, room service, movie rental, etc. Boom! My husband had tickets to see Guns and Roses and personally, I had no desire to go so I suggested he go with his friends and I could hang out in the hotel... ALONE... no (3) kids, no husband, alone! And let me tell you... it was the BEST!! The hotel is BEAUTIFUL! Our room was on the 8th (top) floor and it was stunning! Actually, under the "i" of Proximity when looking at the hotel. Loved the super high ceilings, the bathroom that opened into the living room and the great artwork and lighting. I ordered room service from their on site restaurant, Print Works Bistro. I was given a time estimate of 25-30 minutes and I was shocked when it was more like 20 minutes!! Awesome! I got a steak and frites (fries) and a cup of French Onion soup. The steak was super tender and delicious and the fries were nice and crispy. The soup was just "ok". I ate it in bed while watching TV. After dinner, I had a nice soak in the bath with some champagne. I opened the doors to the living room so I could watch TV while soaking. So relaxing! Personally, the bed wasn't the most comfortable I've slept in but it was ok. Maybe I am spoiled by our amazing $6,000 mattress at home that other ones don't feel as comfy?? My husband didn't get back from the concert until about 2am so he didn't get to enjoy the room as much as I did. We said that we'll DEFINITELY have to come back for another visit!!! Can't wait!

Proximity puts the "green" in Greensboro. This is my favorite place to stay when I'm in town. There's plenty of parking, and the hotel is modern, clean, chic but not too fussy and frilly. But what I love most about this hotel is that it's a totally "green" hotel, without it infringing upon the customer's lux experiences. It's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) with over 70 different sustainable practices exercised both in development and daily execution. It's also always very peaceful. I never hear a ton of noise from other guests or lively activity in the common areas, so if you're looking for a little serenity I think you'll find it here. (Although, I've never stayed her over the weekend.) Depending on the seasonal rates and what you're looking to spend, I'd definitely suggest getting a room with the spa bath if you're looking for a little extra space and relaxation. The bathrooms are beautiful and the tubs deep, with a nice little window that looks out onto the the rest of the room. Seems as though the rates have gone up a bit compared to when I first started staying here, but I can often find deals so still always make the attempt to book. I prefer Proximity just a bit more than the O'Henry just because I love the modern design, but would otherwise rate them comparably. However, you cant really go wrong with either hotel.

We had a very pleasant experience. It was worth every dime. Bistro was a plus. The interiors are beautiful and well appointed. The public lounges are gorgeous. Service was fantastic.

The 2 best adjectives you can use here are quiet and comfortable. It's a no frills escape for a more mature couple, or a nice venue to conduct a business conference. This is not a kid's hotel, which I like because it helps keep things quiet. Activities such as dinner and jazz are more directed towards an older, upper middle class couple like my parents. Younger couples may find it a bit boring. I've dined many times at the Bistro, which is a ok. Our room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. All in all, it's a very nice setting, and a great part of Greensboro. If you just want a place to relax and are far less concerned with having to engage in lots of different activities, then this is a perfect place.

I've stayed here twice for work trips and I absolutely love it. The individuals staffing both the hotel and the restaurant are absolutely incredible--just really lovely people. The rooms are gorgeous and well kept, and the beds are incredibly comfy. And as a bonus, you have an incredible restaurant downstairs--excellent (and knowledgeable) waitstaff, tasty drinks, and delicious food. I highly recommend this hotel and hope to be back soon!

Rooms service took twice as long as quoted (after me calling twice to check in). No apology. The woman working on the phone said my meal would be comped and it wasn't. I had also asked them to deliver a steamer to my room at 8 am on Saturday. 8:45 came and went and no steamer to be seen. When I called, once again no acknowledgement that they forgot/didn't read my reservation. Not at all worth the money! Go somewhere else!!!

This place is a GEM. We stayed here when we first moved to Greensboro and were blown away by the amenities and food in their attached bistro. This hotel is the epitome of a high end boutique hotel. I highly recommend staying here if traveling to GSO.

Stayed at Proximity over Valentine's Day weekend and it did not disappoint! I love the industrial, modern, but still cozy vibe of the place. The room we stayed in was pretty spacious and had a ton of seating options. The bed was comfortable although I always hope for a big fluffy comforter which they did not have. On to that bathroom! The tub was awesome. It was super deep and filled up really quickly. I also loved that the tub wall opened up so you could relax in the tub while watching TV. The bath products are Aveda which is always a plus, although I do wish they included bubble bath in the lineup as well. Room service took about 50 minutes for breakfast. Which I guess is to be expected on a Sunday morning. The food is from the bistro so you know it will arrive pretty tasty. Would love to have a staycation here again!

I love this place for dinner on the open patio. I think it has one of the nicest patios in Greensboro. The food is also amazing. Brunch I love the EggsBenedict, it's made to perfection. They also can make it gluten free and it's very good!! Lunch: I love the warm quinoa salmon salad, or strawberry bib. All locally source fresh ingredients!! Dinner the filet, with Brussels is my favorite. ( the truffle fries are a staple if drinking!!) they have some great wine on their wine list!! On Wednesday's they have half off wine and mussels.

Proximity Hotel is possibly one of the best hotels I have been in. Came here for a company trip for 3 days and it was phenomenal. Check in was easy and the Celisha was so sweet. Got into my room and I was absolutely in love. I was on the 7th floor and it was so spacious and clean and comforting, one of the best nights of sleep I've gotten in a while with the comfortable bed. Only thing I wasnt crazy about was that it only had a stand up shower. However, on the day I was set to leave, I checked out but later on, my flight was canceled so I booked one more night and this new room had a tub which I was super excited about. I ordered room service and it came quickly, I ate the delicious burger from the Print Works Bistro, a chocolate cake and ordered a white wine. I filled the tub up and played music as I drank my wine and had a relaxing night. I'll definitely be staying here anytime I need to come to Greensboro.

I expected better from Proximity. Our issues begun at check-in. We arrived, bags in hand, at the front desk. I gave the clerk my name, as I had arranged our reservation. After spelling my name twice, I handed her my driver's license to check her records. "No," she told me, "I don't have a reservation in this name." I showed her my confirmation email, detailing that I'd paid in advance. "This isn't a confirmation," she said, even though it had a confirmation number and my receipt. After several minutes of back-and-forth, she asked for my boyfriend's name, as I had listed him as my guest. Bingo -- she found it. Even though I had set up the reservation and paid, my name was nowhere to be found. We arrived around 4pm and left before noon the next day, and at no point did we ever see another guest in the hotel. The place was silent. It made for a peaceful night, but it didn't instill confidence that we'd picked a great spot. Getting ready for bed around midnight, the light in our bathroom burnt out. Being so late and feeling exhausted from our day, we didn't find it worth the trouble to alert anyone in the middle of the night. We used our phones to get around. Before turning in for the night, we drew all the curtains and prepared to sleep in the next day. No such luck, as the clock in our room blared the alarm at 6am. It's worth nothing that it's not your typical beeping, droning alarm sound; it's more like a siren. Not a great way to start your Sunday morning. Around 9am, when we started to show signs of life, I was getting out of the shower and heard knocking on the door. "Occupied," I called out. More knocking. "We're still in here," I said. Still the knocking. I opened the door, and the housekeeper on the other side said, "oh, sorry." Proximity did have its good features. Parking is easy and free. Our room was well-appointed and had a pretty cool layout; much different than your standard hotel room. The windows were huge and let in beautiful natural light in the morning. The hotel had its moments. All in all, I don't feel that we received value in proportion to the price tag. If I had known we were going to have such an unfortunate experience, I would have booked a cheaper room closer to our event. I thought a stay at one of Greensboro's nicest hotels would feel luxurious, but our experience fell short.

OMG! The first PLATINUM LEED Certified hotel in the US!!! Do I need to say more...cause I will! From Mr. Jenkins (the van driver) to the front desk, the staff here is UNBELIEVABLY friendly and knowledgeable! Everyone is so proud to work there and they all give the best handshakes (seriously, they must practice handshaking). The lobby is comfortable, bright (during the day) and smells so fresh. The room was not the biggest, but the wall of windows and layout made the room feel twice as big. Personally, I prefer small rooms that maximize the space and Proximity has done just that. This is the first hotel I've seen where they have a business center/sitting area/honor bar on every floor - such a good idea! I could go on and on about this place, but I really don't want to rob anyone of the experience of getting to hear about it from one of the staff members. Greensboro, you have NO idea how lucky you are to be able to claim this hotel. Nothing against the city, but I am very surprised this hotel isn't in a more cosmopolitan part of the country...

Having stayed at Proximity and it's sister hotel the O. Henry, I can say the Proximity is the nicer out of the two, in a modern sort of way. Proximity is built to be a modern rustic sort of building, clean, shiny, and based on the AC temp there, cold. The beds are insanely comfortable, soft, and when you lower the AC, the amount of linens are enough for you to keep the room insanely cold. Lots of pillows and even the TV is set for your comfort. The bathtub was great, deep and filled up rather fast. But let's get to the real reason why I stayed: the pool and the masseuse. A masseuse that comes to you? Uhhh yessss please, I can't remember the name of mine but they were wonderful. The pool, let me tell y'all, I stayed in the pool like 4 hours, it's a saltwater pool and it's warm so no needing to get used to the temp. Also, it plays music in the pool, like when you dunk your head in the water you can still hear the music, Wild. Anyways, if you're looking for a nice place to stay and relax? The Proximity it is.

The reviews here are not exaggerated; The Proximity is a really nice hotel. But guests should be warned that the water pressure is extremely low throughout the hotel. Water from the bathroom faucet is a mere trickle. The shower drips about two gallons a minute (at most). A five minute shower anywhere else takes about 15 minutes at the Proximity. I'm not sure the shower really saves that much water, but apparently it makes some people feel better. Not me. If I'm paying a $$$ rate, I want water pressure included.

5 stars ALL THE WAY! This review covers hotel and restaurant. I have same one under hotel as well: From the moment you walk in to the hotel to the time you enter your room, the decor is elegant, relaxing, classy, clean- simply lovely. A beautiful double spiral staircase in the lobby and gorgeous furniture and light fixtures throughout. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The fitness center is large enough to get a good workout in with plenty of cardio machines and some free weights, it looks out to the gorgeous pool that is open to the outdoors. I wish I would've packed a bathing suit! The rooms are spacious and have a great layout! Beds are extremely comfortable, the bathroom is pretty much my dream bathroom with a nice size tub inside inside the walkin shower. The shower handle is on the opposite side from the shower head (duh! How all showers should be so you can hear water up without getting soaked with cold water first). Aveda products. My restaurant experience at the Printworks bistro was perfect. I don't use the word "perfect" often when describing food. The service was great; the drinks and food were freshly made and delicious; the atmosphere and ambiance was romantic, relaxed, upscale (yet casual) all in one. My mixed green salad was the freshest salad I've had in years (no joke), my Grilled Salmon was flavorful and exactly cooked the way I love- seared just enough on the outside to provide that delicious crunch and flavor. So stinkin' good! Dessert was the Affogato - housemade vanilla ice cream with a shot of espresso and French Almond Macaroons. I'll give it up for the ice cream and espresso. Being that I just went to France for the first time two months ago, the Macaroons had no competition but still good for being here in America. Overall this is my favorite boutique hotel to date and I cover 1/4 of the country for work so I get to see all kinds of hotels. This is by far the most friendly, elegant and economically friendly hotel I've stayed at. Yes, this boutique hotel is number one in America for being green! Major plus. Definitely stay here if you have the opportunity. Such a gem to find, especially in Greensboro!!! :)

This is a beautiful Hotel! However, I only went to a Wine Tasting Dinner here which was catered by Print Works Bistro. The Room we used was beautifully decorated and everything was clean and welcoming. I do think the Ceviche had too many raw red onions in it, which is risky in pleasing a large crowd. The Lamb Shank was delicious but a bit on the salty side. Otherwise, everything was yummy and we had a very pleasant experience here!

I was coming to Greensboro, with very low expectations based on comments by friends and family. Boy were those dopes wrong. We had a fantastic Visit. Starting with the Proximity Hotel. The Lobby welcomes you along with the attentive staff. A Large open and Funky cool space let's you know this ain't your typical Hotel! Our Corner room was bright with tall ceilings and over sized windows. The Corner rooms have windows in the bathroom for wonderful natural light as you get ready for the day. My wife loved them. Unfortunately our room faced the highway but the building is built so well and we heard almost nothing! The Print Works Bistro is bustling with activity every hour of the day. The food and service are the reasons why. Reservations are needed in Prime time. The Crowded dining room made you feel as if you walked off a busy bustling street in a major city. However the Covid partitioning at the tables and bar along with the safe practices of the entire hotel, never made you feel crowded or unsafe. I small detail that needs mentioning is the elevators are quickest i have ever experienced in ANY hotel. A Small detail I know but if you have stood around waiting for an elevator only to find the next one is jammed with people, you understand. I Cannot recommend this place enough.

There is no denying this is one of the nicest venues in Greensboro and perfect for a date night. We went on for a girls brunch and sat at the bar. Our bartender was Neils. Who was fabulous, attentive, friendly and an asset to this restaurant. The brunch gets a 3. I'm only giving the place a 4 because we got 5 star service from the bartender. I got the caramelized onion and roasted tomato omelette with bacon. The omelette tasted like they'd dumped sugar in it. I think the onions in conjunction with the tomatoes was too much. My girlfriend was unimpressed with her food. Go for the atmosphere and the fabulous staff..just accept some dishes don't deliver.

Hotel earned all 5 stars. The hobby and hallways are a tad reminiscent of the aloft brand of industrial chic, but the staff are amazingly accommodating. If you need something, they are more than happy to do it... So let them! Rooms are spacious, and the bathrooms are spotless. Showers were huge. double basin sinks as well. Highly recommend the restaurant- never had bad service there, or a bad meal. Honor bar in hallway. Also wifi and guest use PC with laser printer on every floor. Also had laundry and other amenities. The "basement" meeting areas were also very nice. Refrigerator and microwave in every room, as were LCD TVs and luxury bathrobes. Couch and desk very comfortable. Magazines in room include Edible, Architectural Digest and a few local ones. Newspaper on request. Workout rooms were well appointed. Bottom line: 5 stars. Well earned.

This hotel, hands down, is the most luxurious, magical place I've ever been to. The design is simplistic/minimalist, but extremely classy. They are a "green hotel" and practice sustainability. The room service is pricey, but awesome. The truffle fries and shrimp risotto were perfect; I never knew food could taste so good. Their menu is small and changes depending on what's in season. By the way, the food comes from their bistro. You don't have to stay at the hotel to enjoy their food. The room rates are pricey, but worth it if you can splurge.

Wow, we came to Greensboro specifically to stay at this hotel after seeing a piece about it on UNC TV. It was our anniversary weekend and the hotel was very accommodating with a special package. We loved the classic timeless decor and the eco initiatives that make the hotel a platinum level Leeds certified property. It's located in an office park area so not exactly downtown. But we hopped on our bikes (they had loaners off you don't bring your own) and rode the nearby network of greenway path and got a good overview of the area. They also have a cool London cab to take you into town. Really enjoyed our stay and love supporting an employee owned business. Next time we'll have to make it to one of the restaurants they own too.

I was in NC for work and had the pleasure of staying at the Prox. When I first arrived, I was recovering from a really bad cold. I slept in the first day there and it was partially (most likely) because the beds were so incredibly comfortable, I couldn't bare the thought of getting up! Like sleeping on clouds upon clouds. I recovered pretty quickly! Room service was great, and I couldn't ask for a more clean, eco-friendly, and wonderful hotel! By far the best hotel I've been to.

Where do I start.....this is probably the most fantastic place I have ever stayed at......Beautiful....Relaxing.....Comfortable just to name a few. My sweetie and I enjoyed the Valentines package with an upgrade to a king spa room with an awesome mountain view (hint...you have to request that or you will get a parking lot view) When we first saw the hotel as we pulled up it was beautiful! As going through the revolving entry door, two very polite young men met us upon entering and asked to grab our bags which my husband declined as he is very cautious, to left are the elevators and to right is the front desk check. Two attendees were at the desk, one acknowledged/greeted us while already helping another customer and the other lady made eye contact with us but kept doing whatever she was doing. No acknowledgement. Upon finishing what she was doing she finally made an effort to help us get checked in. You could tell she did want to be there, was very rude and dry, was not helpful at all, didn't even give us everything we needed for our package until I asked. That was definitely a turn off. Now to our room, we stayed in room #807, it was in the middle and had a beautiful view. Upon entering the room, it was fresh and clean, rose petals on the floor leading to the fabulous king bed with two plush robes in a shape of a heart on the bed. Bottle of wine on ice, special treats on a dish, romantic music in the background, some special gifts to spice up romance in bed, candles and roses around spa tub. I was blown away by all of this, it was way and beyond of what I thought it would be!!! Awesome! The spa tub was fantastic, relaxing, and romantic and the shower right next to it was awesome too! This was such a nice romantic getaway with my sweetie and would highly recommend it to anyone!! You will not be disappointed! Just hope you don't run into the rude front desk attendant.

What a great experience through and through. I was here for work and my host chose an excellent hotel match for me. I particularly enjoyed the restaurant. High quality local food with wonderful service. The staff is highly trained and it shows. The room has lots of dresser space for clothing and I appreciated that. Russell my shuttle driver to the airport came down and got my bags without any request from me. Great place to stay

My partner and I booked a single Friday night for a quick getaway and had a lovely time. We are very covid wary and the protocols were safe and made us feel comfortable. We stayed in the room basically the whole time and the bed and tv were perfectly positioned. The room service food was delicious and priced as expected. My only hopes would be a bath tub in the gorgeous bathroom, a larger table to eat and some additional blankets and pillows. The noon checkout time was a wonderful and unexpected perk. Personnel were also helpful.

How does one describe an experience that was so much better that it is at first glance? What do I mean? Well the Proximity Hotel is class from the moment you walk through the automated revolving doors until you walk into your room and go WOW!!! We took 5 minutes just marveling at the bathroom...huge shower and large tub, with barn door and panels next to the tub that open up to the room. The bed was divine, so much so that on Sunday morning we did not want to get up. In fact we spent an extra two hours just laying in bed because it was just so cozy and inviting. Add to all of this that the hotel is the first Platinum LEED certified green hotel in the United States. But I dare you to notice anything different from any non-green hotel. The shower was strong and hot, the toilets flushed effectively, the water from the faucets flowed nicely. There was no discernible difference to us the patrons. I could go on for a while about this place but I won't, just plan on staying at the Proximity OR the O'Henry if you are ever in Greensboro, because no other hotel will come close. One last super special touch. My wife and I were staying there as a getaway anniversary gift from a friend. We walked in and on the table were some chocolates and a hand written anniversary welcome card. Is that class or what. Enough said. Five diamond experience!!!!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Proximity. We came here for our wedding night and enjoyed the spa room and king bed. Everything was clean and there were even treats for us. While our stay was great, our check-in process was a nightmare. We arrived in a London Taxi (courtesy of Proximity) directly from our wedding. All I had was my bouquet. When we came inside, the receptionist asked for our IDs, which we didn't have. The room had also already been paid for but they needed a credit card to swipe. Needless to say, we had to sit and wait in the lobby for 30 minutes until someone from the wedding could bring us our things. There should be a more efficient way of allowing the bride and groom to check-in to their room.

Proximity Hotel Greensboro NC We wanted a hotel to celebrate my wife's birthday in January, during the pandemic. We wanted to indulge ourselves. We found the Proximity Hotel and were amazed by the hotel and the room but mostly the staff and service! It is a warm but modern hotel with quirky touches. The room, a spa loft (immaculately clean), with floor to ceiling windows and a window seat, was absolutely designed by people who wanted to create a space where they would want to spend time. It had everything you would want to relax and enjoy. The staff was extraordinary! Every single one of them was happy and engaged with joyful personality! Any request was met with swift and thoughtful response. We booked and went for a return trip for our anniversary and Valentine's day and had an equally wonderous stay! AND the restaurant and the one at their sister hotel, The O'Henry, are fantastic (look for our reviews of Green Valley Grill and Print Works Bistro). If you read this review and decide to go...You are welcome!

Love this hotel! Stayed here several times and always book the room with the bathtub in it where you can watch TV from the tub. The pitchers of filtered water are such a nice touch too. Being a business traveler is usually not so fun but it's quiet here and I look forward to staying here every time.

What an ultra sheek hotel! This place is first class all the way and probably one of the nicest hotels in the area. The lobby area is very modern and stylish and the service is 5 stars. Every morning I woke up to complimentary coffee and a New York Times at my door. The shower is huge, you could probably fit at least five people in there, if that's what you're into :)! My room was very big with a king size bed, 2 couches, a flat screen tv, bottled water, and free wired and wireless internet. The staff was always courteous and professional. At $150 including taxes I will be staying here again when I'm in the area!

Who knew such a classy trendy place existed in Greensboro! We were a bit skeptical about the price since we were just staying for a night but, once we arrived, we knew we had picked the right place. The decor is all very modern and somewhat industrial, but not in an obnoxious, in your face sort of way. The front desk staff were incredibly pleasant and accommodating. I was impressed with how helpful they were in setting up our transportation to and from our concert that evening. All of the employees were very polite and professional. They have Aveda products in the rooms so for once I actually used what the hotel provided instead of my own. All in all, I was very impressed. This hotel could really be put right smack in the middle of upscale Manhattan and not be out of place. If I'm ever in the area again, Proximity Hotel will most definitely be my first choice.
