The Holiday Inn downtown is nicknamed the hair roller due to it's cylindrical shape. The bar on the 20th floor has windows all around so you can get a view of all of downtown Raleigh. Start the night here and watch the sun set over the city.
It's a view of Raleigh you can't get anywhere else unless you befriend a resident of one of the downtown high rises. It's located within easy walking distance of the downtown Fayetteville area, Glenwood south, and Hillsborough areas.
It closes at 10 so make sure to go at the start of your night!
