During your Durham/Raleigh vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
North Carolina Museum of Art
This museum houses a major collection of European paintings, plus American, 20th-century, ancient, African, Oceanic, and Judaic exhibits. The permanent collection -- with works by Raphael, Rubens, van Dyck, Monet, Homer, and Wyeth -- is complemented by a program of 12 to 15 special exhibitions annually. A special feature of the museum is the Virginia Camp Smith 17th-century Flemish Kunstkamer, a re-creation of a Flemish style "art room" with exhibits illustrating both decorative and fine arts. There's wheelchair access, and you can plan to have lunch in the Blue Ridge Museum Restaurant (tel. 919/833-3548), open Wednesday to Saturday 11:30am to 2pm and Sunday 10:30am to 2:30pm.
North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences
The state's oldest museums has found a bigger and better home, situated between the capitol and the legislature building. The museum's Exhibit Hall daily presents a variety of programs to the public, often featuring live animals. Exhibits focus on North Carolina's geology and geography, notably its plant and animal life. One of the biggest draws is "Willo," the world's only dinosaur with a fossilized heart. Among the big bones is Acrocanthosaurus, a spiny-lizard-type dinosaur, the only skeleton of its type in the world. The museum has one of America's greatest displays of whale skeletons as well. The Naturalist Center has a collection of specimens ranging from mammals to reptiles, fossils to minerals, and more. Kids take special delight in the Discovery Room, with its hands-on discovery boxes.
State Legislative Building
Allow about 30 minutes to go through this striking contemporary building, designed by Edward Durrell Stone. But take longer if you happen to be here when the legislature is in session. You'll be able to watch the proceedings and perhaps even spot a young, post-millennium Jesse Helms in the making.
Sheraton Capital Center Hotel Raleigh
A 17-story redbrick skyscraper that factored prominently into an urban renewal of downtown Raleigh when it was built in 1982, this is the biggest, most visible, most consistently occupied, and most appealing large hotel in the city center. Guests have included celebrities from Al Gore to a gaggle of rock and rap stars. The uniformed staff here is polite and well-versed in the layout of Raleigh. The hotel has a coffee-shop-inspired restaurant within the glass-roofed atrium, a lobby level covered with either travertine marble or flagstones, soaring redbrick arches, and comfortable, conservatively contemporary midsize guest rooms. The hotel is directly connected, through a covered passageway, to the city's convention facilities.Facilities: Restaurant; bar; cappuccino and espresso bar; health club and exercise room; indoor pool; room service (7am-11:30pm); babysitting; laundry service/dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; concierge level with deluxe amenities and accessories; rooms for those w/limited mobility.
Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley
Located 10 minutes northwest of the city center and 7 miles from the airport, this is Raleigh's leading hotel. It lacks some of the charm of the Oakwood Inn but is professional in every way and caters to a large business clientele. The city's largest hotel, it rises six floors, offering well-furnished guest rooms and large bathrooms with tub/shower combinations. The most luxurious and expensive rooms are on the concierge level.
The Oakwood Inn
Raleigh has no shortage of hotels, motor hotels, and motels, but it has almost no inns. The Oakwood fills the vacuum; it's an inn of charm and character. Built in 1871, the Victorian building lies in the historic district, and guests can stroll to attractions downtown. A wraparound porch evokes the best of Southern architecture in the 19th century. Leaded glass and mahogany and walnut furniture re-create a long-gone era, as do the well-kept bathrooms with showers and claw-foot tubs. The inn, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, serves the best breakfast in the area.
