In addition to a glorious stay, guests are offered world-class cuisine, a phenomenal spa experience and true Southern hospitality.

And Do Good: Since opening in 2007, The Umstead has chosen to target K-12 education for their charitable support.   The hotel gives hundreds of gift certificates out each year to local schools – most every elementary, middle, and high school in the Triangle area has had an Umstead gift certificate for an overnight stay and brunch for two in their silent auction! In addition, The Umstead participate in discounting events such as awarding the annual NC Teacher of the Year at the hotel, and hosting Boys and Girls Clubs of Wake County kids for their annual Tea with Santa event.
