Guests visiting Chapel Hill can now enjoy more modernized, upscale accommodations at The Carolina Inn.
The Carolina Inn completed its $19 million renovation in April.
Kenneth Zogry, historian of the Carolina Inn, said the renovation began in January 2009 and was completed in two phases over four and a half years. The first phase was completed in 2010.
She said it modernized the decor, and new furniture and other sustainable features have been added to the guest rooms to maximize guest convenience.
The restaurant, function rooms and public areas have also been extensively renovated, updating much of the Inn’s infrastructure, Voelpel said.
She said the hotel carried out the renovations in order to upgrade its services.
“We have undergone its latest renovation in order to provide better products to our guests and to offer upgraded meeting and public places to the community,” Voelpel said.
“We are thrilled to have our renovation done and be able to show our renewed Inn to our guests.”
Jack Schmidt, general manager at the Carolina Inn, said new furniture in the renovated guest rooms was constructed from raw materials managed through the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, and all the furniture was made in North Carolina.
