"In Raleigh, North Carolina, an undistinguished corporate chain hotel was found to have, beneath a layer of stucco, the bones of a fossilized Sixties Travelodge — and after an archaeological-grade restoration and a modernist-inspired redesign it’s back in business, this time as the Longleaf Hotel. Named, fittingly, for a classic-but-endangered emblem of North Carolina’s forests." - Mark Fedeli

Mid-century motel vibes, aperitifs and vermouths, and a patio that doubles as community living room. The lounge hosts low- and no-ABV nights and arts events, and often lands on local best-of lists.
