Yeah, downtown Raleigh needs more hotel space and more boutique hotels. It doesn't have anything like the 21c Museum Hotel and The Durham Hotel (and Unscripted) in downtown Durham. Raleigh's hotels are kinda stuffy and boring for the most part
The Days Inn is being redeveloped as we speak as a boutique hotel. Longleaf Inn or something I think. It's supposed to have a delicatessen. And the Origin Hotel is well underway right now on Glenwood. That'll add a bit more flavor.

The Proximity Hotel in Greensboro is not the biggest in the city but its probably the nicest and is on par with some major upscale/luxury chains. The Grandover Resort in South Greensboro is also nice. The Proximity also has the designation of being the "greenest" hotel in America and there was a story on the hotel several years ago on NBC Today Show. The hotel is located on the edge of midtown. It was named of the old Proximity textile mill on the north side of town.
