Its construction coincided with a local development and tourism boom following World War II. It is one of only a few mid-century hotels still standing in the city. Lundgren and Maurer of Austin, TX, who designed the building, were known for their round Holiday Inn designs.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe hotel consists of a circular 5-story base with a lobby and parking garage, a circular 13-story guestroom tower, and a cantilevered top floor restaurant and meeting space. The 5-story base features cast concrete walls with an open section ornamented with decorative concrete breeze block screens. The 13-story tower is constructed of concrete piers infilled with pebbledash concrete panels. The cantilevered, curtain-walled top floor originally rotated 360 degrees, providing panoramic views of the city. Though the guestroom balconies have now been enclosed, the hotel&#039;s original interior layout remains largely intact.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nDate: 1969","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://cityofraleigh0drupal.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/drupal-prod/COR10/StateCapitolHolidayInn_LandmarkOrdinanceAndReport.pdf\">State Capitol Holiday Inn Landmark Designation Report and Ordinance</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/375f6a92f25e2107a9d7bced86fb2fd3.jpg":{"id":1113,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"State Capitol Holiday Inn","description":"Southeast elevation","thumbnail":"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/375f6a92f25e2107a9d7bced86fb2fd3.jpg"},"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/d16878027ec814c8be6c12b4513ac055.jpg":{"id":1114,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"State Capitol Holiday Inn","description":"South elevation","thumbnail":"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/d16878027ec814c8be6c12b4513ac055.jpg"},"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/d90cb6591c3a84372d3e0980e2b53600.jpg":{"id":1115,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"State Capitol Holiday Inn","description":"Northwest elevation","thumbnail":"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/d90cb6591c3a84372d3e0980e2b53600.jpg"},"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/010b59d362efe13e899406a21e91d235.jpg":{"id":1116,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"State Capitol Holiday Inn","description":"Entrance detail","thumbnail":"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/010b59d362efe13e899406a21e91d235.jpg"},"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/6f86ebf61fe6120df90f79d71f604225.jpg":{"id":1117,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"State Capitol Holiday Inn","description":"Porte Cochere detail","thumbnail":"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/6f86ebf61fe6120df90f79d71f604225.jpg"},"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/fullsize/43424a965d30282be69b286e3ed0e12f.jpg":{"id":1118,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"State Capitol Holiday Inn","description":"Window balcony detail","thumbnail":"https://mail.raleighhistoric.org/files/square_thumbnails/43424a965d30282be69b286e3ed0e12f.jpg"}}}
