It’s easy to understand how Winston-Salem became known as the City of Arts and Innovation. There’s the authentic history of Old Salem, art museums like Reynolda House Museum of American Art and SECCA, the downtown arts district, plus events such as the National Black Theatre Festival and the RiverRun International Film Festival. Pair it all with prestigious universities, music festivals, craft beer culture, and nearby wineries, and you have something for every taste.

Once the architectural muse for the Empire State Building, the historic R.J. Reynolds building is now home to The Kimpton Cardinal Hotel. We’ve enjoyed mixing Southern manners and modern flair with a little mischief thrown in. Relax each afternoon over sweet tea and cheese straws and evenings during our wine hour in a lobby that feels like a lavish Carolina living room. Step outside to explore downtown Winston-Salem and her thriving art, music, and foodie scene.
