The Carolina Hotel

accommodations

When opened on New Year’s Day in 1901, The Carolina Hotel was the largest frame hotel in North Carolina.

Some say you can feel the spirit of Pinehurst as you turn onto Carolina Vista Drive. This majestic century-old hotel with its sweeping verandas makes you feel as though you’ve stepped back in time to an era when elegance defined grand hotels and resorts. Dubbed the “Queen of the South,” The Carolina has 230 Four-Diamond guest rooms including suites.

Adjacent to The Carolina, foursomes or groups may enjoy the Carolina Villas, which feature spacious guest rooms with a connecting parlor.
