RALEIGH’S FIRST BOUTIQUE HOTEL

Peacefully modern.

Playfully designed.

Perfectly downtown Raleigh.

420 S Bloodworth Street, Raleigh, NC 27601

 
Calm and peaceful for the mind and the soul... because let’s be real, it’s hard to live a minimal lifestyle with the clutter of real life. #nochoreshere #staycation . 📷 @leslieryann ✨
We’ve been quiet on insta over here since we took a mini break to enjoy time as husband and wife. As getaways we love exploring cities and staying in inspiring places like this little spot in Savannah! This was our morning view in the @the_windrose_hotel designed by @basic_projects - we’re fans! Now we’re feeling nostalgic for the weekend and for Nicole’s #intentionallysmall roots. 🤗
Spring backyard hangs! All guests have access to our sweet backyard courtyard - perfect for sipping some morning coffee or evening drinks with a #downtownraleigh skyline view that’s ✨. Three of our guestrooms have their own private outdoor space! . Craving an evening drink? Bring back your own from these local tasty places super close by: @burialdtr, @shortwalkwines, @brewerybhavana, and @thebittery! . We’re adding an honor bar soon... any special requests? . 📷 @leslieryann ✨
Oh hello there! . A lot of folks have been asking us who is behind our brand identity. We had a blast working with our friends @new.kind to capture the perfect balance of classic x modern, with a little bit of funk! . They helped us set a great foundation to build on over time - as seen here with @its_gino_reyes bringing our spirit animal “smiley eyes” to life in true Gino fashion!
We approached the design of every space with this overall goal in mind: balancing clean modern forms with a respectful nod to our historic roots. . Every guestroom has its own private bathroom flooded with natural daylight. Our tile color palette was super selective: matte dusty sage for floor wrapping up the shower wall, complemented by glossy white wainscoting. A soft linen shower curtain softens the space and @malinandgoetz shower products breathe hints of cilantro and rum into your shower experience. . A sneaky skylight above the pedestal sink in #6 and #7 makes us smile every time. . Our suite bathrooms have even more magic 💫 . 📷: @leslieryann
We 💗 our talented friends! . We left a special canvas of walls flanking the chimney in our study for our friend Bryan from @holderhome to curate some magic. We’re obsessed with the forms and texture of these hand-built vases by @xena_electra paired with local cotton and so beautifully composed in contrast/compliment to our space. . Keep an eye out for Holder’s limited release of Xena’s vases inspired by the original collection in our study! . PS we have more fun stuff to share about what we’ve been up to with Bryan... stay tuned!
Music makes us feel at home - so when designing each of our guestrooms we knew a speaker was a must. We researched near/far, and these @marshallheadphones speakers from our stay at @sohohousechicago were the best at bluetooth/hardwire pairing and the sound quality was killer. Love at first listen! . Literally bought our speakers before we started construction 😏 then stored them in our home for months. Totally worth it, right?! . What makes you feel at home even while traveling?
Hi! 👋 We don’t talk much about ourselves, we’re IG shy, but hoping to share more soon. We’re a wife and husband team behind Guest House - Nicole was the architect and Matt is the operator. This was our first design collaboration together, from concept to construction, to furnishings/finishes, and now through guest experience.....and here we are hanging in our kitchen. Ok that’s all for now! . Thanks for the rad photo @leslieryann
