Hilton North Raleigh Hotel

From
barbecue joints with expansive wine lists to dinosaurs with fossilized
hearts and boutiques showcasing couture items by sought-after designers
(many with area roots), there is no limit to the energy and excitement
of Raleigh, North Carolina's Capital City. Raleigh's commitment to
preserving the past while embracing the future is evident in their
historic sites and world-renowned gardens mingling with trendy
restaurants, cutting-edge culture and a hard-to-beat educational
environment. Raleigh has been called the "City of Oaks" based on their
penchant for green space, the "Smithsonian of the South" for their high
caliber of free museums and the "Silicon Valley of the East," paying
homage to their renowned tech scene (Research Triangle Park is in
Raleigh's backyard, and seven colleges and universities call the Raleigh
area home).
