Hilton Garden Inn Raleigh-Durham Airport

In a quiet, wooded pocket of Morrisville, less than a mile from Raleigh–Durham International Airport. This airport hotel puts you minutes from Research Triangle Park, NC State University, Duke and UNC Chapel Hill, Lake Crabtree County Park, Chatham Hill Winery and PNC Arena — a smart pick for business trips or family-friendly stays near RDU.

A recent multimillion-dollar renovation refreshed the lobby with rich colors, modern lines and private seating areas with LCD TVs. There’s an outdoor patio with a fire pit and a chic restaurant and bar for evening hangs. Guest rooms feel contemporary and efficient — new flooring and wall coverings, adjustable sleep mattresses, in-room refrigerators and microwaves, 32–42-inch HD flat-screen TVs, plus a roomy work desk and ergonomic chair.

Take a dip in the indoor pool, relax in the whirlpool, or keep up routines in the fitness room. The property also features a lobby fireplace, picnic area, a 24-hour convenience mart and a complimentary airport shuttle at scheduled times. Evening room service is available for low-key nights in.

Complimentary high-speed wired and wireless internet and a 24-hour business center make work easy. The hotel offers about 2,300 sq ft of flexible meeting and event space (multiple rooms) that can accommodate up to roughly 100 guests, plus secure remote printing and express check-out.

An on-site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with cooked-to-order breakfasts available daily (fee). Wind down at the bar/lounge for evening drinks, order evening room service, or grab snacks from the 24-hour convenience market.
