Hyatt House Raleigh, NC Neighborhood Dining Guide

Hyatt House, Raleigh, NC Neighborhood Dining Guide

Hyatt House, Raleigh, NC by CarolinaMama

Hyatt House is in the beautiful North Hills area of Raleigh, NC. It is a chic, uber-hip and friendly shopping and dining area of Raleigh.  We love it! In fact, since the twins were smaller,  we've visited the Fountain and made wishes while tossing pennies. We've taken photos and enjoyed dining, shopping and attractions in this quaint and peaceful locale. 

North Hills is Raleigh's Midtown. This innovative, multi-faceted district offers many options to live, work, shop, dine, and play, according to Visit North Hills. 

We love Hyatt House and the spacious Suites that accommodate families and groups. There is privacy and luxury in each suite. I've shared here before how we love everything about Hyatt House including the fabulous morning breakfasts. 

Recently, I was honored to work with Hyatt House, Raleigh, on their Neighborhood Guide for all things Dining, Attractions and Shopping. You are talking about fun! This is the perfect assignment for us. Hyatt House is now offering their own microsite to share these options with customers. I loved writing this guide and best of all. Hyatt House is letting me share it with you here. 

Feel free to share it with your local friends and family and with those from out of town. They are not in any particular order. Here we go.
