Kimpton Cardinal Hotel

AAA Diamond Inspector Notes

Custom furnishings and clever artwork fill this charming high-rise which is a work of art in itself. The Art Deco R.J. Reynolds Building was the design inspiration for the Empire State Building. Hotel rooms occupy floors two through six, each outfitted with posh bedding, a large workspace with ample charging outlets, and a minibar stocked with gourmet snacks. In each closet, you'll find seersucker robes and a yoga mat. The one-bedroom suites and “spa kings” have an expanded, glamorous bathroom with a deep soaking tub and separate oversized shower. The elegant lobby serves as a living room for the hotel, with seating nooks and a community table. Coffee and tea are served each morning, and wine and light bites are featured during a social hour each evening. Recreational amenities include a small basketball court, bowling alley, adult-size slide and more in the basement rec room. Smoke free premises. 174 units. 20 stories, interior corridors. Accessibility (Call).
