Welcome to the Carolina Inn, a historic hotel located in downtown Chapel Hill, NC. Historic charm, modern amenities, gracious service, and memorable food blend beautifully at The Carolina Inn, a AAA Four Diamond Award Winner & Member of Historic Hotels of America.

Dreams are fragile things. And dreams of perfect events - exquisitely beautiful and romantic - are the most fragile of all. Remaining true to these dreams takes the greatest of care. And transforming them into memories that live forever well, that takes a little magic.

The Carolina Inn has been working this magic for generations, helping brides and grooms fulfill their most cherished wedding dreams. Our magic begins with a setting of historic Southern charm: Colonial architecture, immaculate lawns, and stately oaks and magnolias. Inside the Inn, the atmosphere of warmth and grace is accented by antiques and fresh flowers.

We have intimate parlors with fireplaces, secluded garden courtyards, and expansive ballrooms. The Old Well Room, with its evocative 1920s décor, is especially popular for wedding events. With a tradition of hosting memorable bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, champagne brunches, receptions and banquets, we devote equal care to events for ten guests or five hundred.

For many UNC alumni and others with a fondness for the charm of Chapel Hill, holding wedding events at The Carolina Inn is a family tradition - a tradition of romantic elegance and the joy of dreams fulfilled. We have an entire staff of magicians disguised as wedding specialists, menu planners, master chefs, food designers, floral designers and others with the talent and experience to make dreams come true.

Bring your dreams to The Carolina Inn, and together we will turn them into something magical.
