King's Daughters Inn




In mid February, a small group of prominent people gathered in Durham, North Carolina for a relaxed weekend. These folks unite only a few times a year and I wanted a venue for their annual weekend in North Carolina to foster a sense of community and comfort.

This unique, 17 room inn truly knocked my socks off!


I will gush for a few sentences...




This building was originally an old woman's home that was supported by the King's Daughters. After many years, the house was closed and bought by a couple that came to Durham to attend Duke University. A contracting license, a major design project and a year later, the King's Daughters Inn was born. Each guest room has a different look and feel (a quick glimpse at the rooms in the picture above), but is equipped with all the best luxury items and most up to date techonology. It can work for a vacation or a work trip. A home made and hot breakfast is served evry morning and tea is available all afternoon in the parlor. The couple is passionate about wine and will invite guests down for wine and cheese in the evening.




The weekend was a complete success. Their hospitality was impeccable and made me feel at ease as planner. The above photo is the Dining Room where we held an intimate dinner for the group. It was truly an evening to remember.
