Preserving History; The Colonial Inn Gets a Beautiful Makeover

The Colonial Inn Hillsborough, NC Wedding Venue Awaits Your Wedding Party 

The Colonial Inn in Hillsborough has undergone an incredible transformation. It is now a romantic hotel and wedding venue! The historic venue has reopened as a 28-room boutique hotel with an event-center space and a restaurant / bar open to the public. With its beautiful oak beams, stunning porch and a honeymoon luxury suite, it’s the sweetest Southern wedding destination! At this autumn-themed styled shoot, NC wedding vendors Morgan Caddell Photography, Harmony Weddings & Events, Beau Catering and Sugar Euphoria came together to create a magical day at The Colonial Inn. 

Preserving the Past and Creating New Memories at The Colonial Inn

The Colonial Inn’s event space seats about 125 people. The room, with its expansive mirrors, is a perfect spot for your wedding ceremony, bridal party or reception. Its trendy bar has wingback chairs and brass cocktail holders. On top of that, antique brass is threaded throughout the hotel’s interior design. There is also plenty of gorgeous space outside The Colonial Inn for your ceremony or reception to take place. Between the main building and its annex, a courtyard decorated with southern flora and fauna awaits. Finally, how could we forget the front porch, The Colonial Inn’s most notable and recognizable feature – ideal for wedding party photos or cocktail hour!

View first-hand the chic light fixtures and plush furniture. There are seven rooms on the second level of the main building. These are unique spaces of different designs, sizes and shapes. The new design of The Colonial Inn is neoclassical, comfortable, warm and accommodating. In addition, the honeymoon suite has a private entrance, living room space, bar cart and an upholstered sectional sofa. The bedroom has beautiful fixtures and floating nightstands. Couples can also enjoy the jacuzzi room, which has a self-heating jacuzzi tub with Bluetooth speakers and a TV. 

The Colonial Inn has occupied a spot on King Street since the 1800s. The landmark is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is the only antebellum hotel in Hillsborough that still exists. The building is an important piece of history since it has lasted through successful years, wartime and harsh economic times.
