LABOR OF LOVE

The Umstead Hotel and Spa in Cary, North Carolina was conceived and constructed with a passion for art and nature. To showcase their interaction. To celebrate their beauty. To present them in both awe-inspiring simplicity and intricate detail.

Everything—from our sculpted gardens to our custom Chihuly glass sculpture, our locally sourced cuisine to our botanically infused Umstead bath products—is designed to stir the senses and inspire an appreciation for art and nature in our hotel guests to Cary, NC. In every corner of our hotel and every inch of our 12-acre grounds, there is something beautiful waiting to be discovered about us. The Umstead Hotel is more than a place to stay; it is a place to be explored in amazement.

That being said, what makes The Umstead truly special and worth returning to time and again is more priceless than our finest work of art and more lovely than our stunning lakeside vista. It cannot be conveyed in a list of amenities or in a series of designations, though we have those, too. What makes The Umstead such a comforting retreat is our guests and the people who welcome them. Our staff is encouraged to serve you as they would a dear friend or honored guest in their own home. Their warmth and hospitality is genuine. Their pride in The Umstead is both deep and sincere.
