Homewood Suites by Hilton Raleigh-Durham AP/Research Triangle

Just outside Raleigh-Durham International Airport in Durham’s business corridor, this suite hotel puts you minutes from Research Triangle Park and close to RDU. Research Triangle Park is about 0.9 miles away and the airport is roughly 4.9 miles — ideal for tech and airport-side stays.

Rooms are suite-style with kitchenettes—full-sized refrigerators, stovetops and microwaves—so you can store snacks or whip up a quick meal. Expect premium bedding, double sofa beds, air conditioning, LCD TVs, in-room safes and desks. The lobby’s fireplace and on-site shopping add a relaxed, practical vibe.

Dive into both indoor and outdoor pools, sweat it out in the 24-hour fitness center, or unwind in the sauna. Complimentary roundtrip airport shuttle runs 24 hours, and free parking is available. Laundry and dry-cleaning services, an elevator, and gift shop/newsstand round out the conveniences—plus a daily complimentary buffet to kick off your morning.

Good for meetings and events: 1,174 sq ft (109 m²) of conference and meeting space, a business center, express check-in and check-out, and complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout the property.

An on-site restaurant and bar/lounge serve guests, with room service available. Start the day with a complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM, and look for complimentary reception nights on select days.
