I truly amazing place to be located in Raleigh this is a five-star hotel with a five-star restaurant known as Heron's. I don't even know where to start as someone who's come from this industry for many years I was truly impressed by everything that they offered the little details attention to customer service and the staff for all very friendly and helpful. It was our first time here but we will definitely be back.
Came here for a work event. Beautiful hotel. Rooms are top notch and what you would expect from a 5 star hotel with a lovely turn down service. Food is outstanding. Enjoyed the lobster roll and sea bass. Views are outstanding and relaxing. The walk around the lake is lovely.
We just had a wonderful stay at The Umstead. I’ve stayed here many times over the years, and this visit was by far the best. The attention to detail was exceptional — from the warm, attentive service to the impeccable cleanliness and comfort of the rooms. Every part of the experience felt thoughtful and refined. I’m already looking forward to returning over the holidays. A few standout staff made this visit especially memorable: The in room dining staff were all amazing. Nico, who helped with our bags and car, was fantastic — helpful, and professional. Lauris, our server in the bar/lounge on 7/25, provided excellent service, perfectly complemented by the incredible jazz music playing that evening. The in-room dining was also a highlight — prompt, delicious, and brought with genuinely friendly service.
This hotel is worth the price tag if you can swing it. The service was fabulous from the front desk who remembered my name, the housekeeping guy who brought us a new coffee machine because we had trouble with the first, and the servers in Heron’s Restaurant were also very attentive, warm and funny. The rooms are plush and in very good condition. The air conditioning works well. There was no outside noise to wake us up. The room was serviced several times, including turning down beds and night, laying out slippers and bathrobes, wrapping up our charging cables with a small piece of leather with a snap, placing 2 super fancy chocolate truffles in the room, and more. Heron’s Restaurant is excellent. I highly recommend the tasting menu for dinner. We were served 5 courses plus 3 elegant amuse bite and several tiny sweets to take in an elegant box. Service was great. Plus, breakfast and lunch were very good too. Photos are from the tasting menu.
