THE LONGLEAF HOTEL is a modernized mid-century gem sitting at the northern gateway to downtown Raleigh not far from, well, everything. Their namesake, the soaring longleaf pine―with its whimsied canopy and pine needle blanketed floor― has inspired every aspect of this modern renovation of a vintage motor lodge. This beautiful property was recently awarded TCREW's Champion Award for 'Best Interiors!' One of many awards to come, we are sure. Christine McDonald, Creative Director with Loden Properties, shares her journey during the process.  Enjoy!
