Raleigh’s on the move, folks, and the latest addition to our vibrant downtown scene is gorgeous proof! Say hello to the Hyatt House Raleigh Downtown, a stylish new hotel that opened on October 10th right next to William Peace University at 11 Seaboard Avenue Raleigh, NC 27604.
This ain’t your grandma’s Hyatt. The entrance and common areas boast modern sophistication with stone, wood, and brass accents throughout. They’ve got four room types, all featuring kitchenettes and those extended-stay amenities that make you feel right at home, even if the home is on average $238 a night... but hey, breakfast is included!
Let’s get to the real star of the show, High Rail! The rooftop bar officially opened on November 8th. Trust me, this place is worth the hype. The views? Unobstructed panoramic of our beautiful downtown skyline. The vibes? Airy, welcoming, and oh-so-chic. And the food? Don’t even get me started! From seared tuna stacks to a North Carolina-inspired crab dip made with Red Oak Lager showing true local love! Their menu is a foodie adventure. Speaking of adventures, their cocktail menu is where the real fun begins. With 16 handcrafted concoctions, including a “Copperline” featuring 1792 small batch bourbon and a tableside martini service that’s pure class, you’ll be saying “cheers” to good times all night long.
What truly sets this place apart is the attention to detail. The design is a perfect blend of modern and timeless, with nods to Raleigh’s railroad history woven throughout. The staff is top-notch! Kris the bartender was a total sweetheart, Trina gave us the warmest welcome, and Ingrid’s kindness made us feel like VIPs. Honestly, everyone was fantastic which gives me confidence in staying at Hyatt House Seaboard Station.
Developed by Hoffman & Associates the masterminds behind Seaboard Station’s transformation, Hyatt House Seaboard Station is managed by award-winning hotel pros Concord Hospitality. Featuring a sprawling 4,492-square-foot rooftop with an outdoor terrace High Rail is ideal for those perfect sunset moments. Perched on the seventh floor of the Hyatt House, overlooking the pedestrian-friendly retail corridor of Seaboard Station this location is ideal for private events and celebrations.

With plans for over a million square feet of mixed-use space, including apartments, shops, and restaurants, this neighborhood is shaping up to be a downtown destination. So, Raleighites, gather your crew and head on over to the Hyatt House and High Rail. It’s time to experience the best of our city in a whole new way!
