Reynolds building with playful boutique design and a rec room, and the historic Shaffner Inn offers a refined B&B stay.

Things to do in Winston Salem

Beyond the hotel room

Old Salem is the centerpiece — a living-history Moravian village where you can tour period homes, learn about 18th-century crafts, and explore gardens. The Reynolda House Museum of American Art showcases an exceptional collection in the estate gardens of R.J. Reynolds. Downtown's Innovation Quarter on Fourth Street has galleries, restaurants, and shops, while Tanglewood Park offers 1,400 acres with holiday lights in winter. Wake Forest University has a beautiful campus to stroll, and the Kaleideum children's museum is great for families. Don't miss the original Krispy Kreme doughnut shop for a piece of local history. Winston-Salem is best in spring and fall, when mild weather makes walking Old Salem and Reynolda gardens a pleasure.

There is more within easy reach: Old Salem Museums & Gardens; The downtown Innovation Quarter and Fourth Street; The original Krispy Kreme doughnut shop; The Sawtooth arts and Fiddlin' Fish scene. Seasonal highlights include Old Salem's Christmas and candle-tea season (winter), The Tanglewood Festival of Lights (winter), The downtown Fourth Street festivals and Gears & Guitars (warm months). Winston-Salem rewards visits in every season, from green-season hiking and water days to brilliant autumn foliage and quiet, snow-dusted winters. And because Winston-Salem sits within easy reach of Greensboro, High Point, Boone, it works well as a base for wider day trips across the region. Seasonal highlights include Old Salem's Christmas and candle-tea season (winter), The Tanglewood Festival of Lights (winter), The downtown Fourth Street festivals and Gears & Guitars (warm months).

The Shaffner Inn

4.7·118 Google reviews

"I am completely smitten with this Inn and Winston-Salem. I think the most important aspect to note, is I felt safe here. Shane the Inn Manager is amazing, personable and knowledgable. The other staff members were great as well, altho their names escape me, all very nice, and helpful. It's clean, charming and I can't wait to go back."

"I had a lovely one night stay at the Shaffner. Check in was flexible and easy. The room was large, comfortable, and economical. Breakfast was great. I had no issues with comfort or security either in the parking lot or inside. I would revisit the Shaffner next time I am in Winston-Salem."

Kimpton Cardinal Hotel by IHG

4.4·1,033 Google reviews

"Nice hotel. Great restaurant! Very convenient to all things downtown … but their tvs. Stuck in the year 2000. Remotes are from my high school years. Put some smart tvs in your rooms! It’s a small expense but literally only thing EVERYONE uses in a hotel room!"

— SA Scott, a month ago · 4/5

"Excellent customer service. Shout out to the valet who brought my phone from the car before I even realized I had left it in there. Lobby and room decor were fitting for the price, and an overall excellent atmosphere. Slightly slow elevators on occasion, but not unacceptable."

Tub types, explained

What's the difference between a jacuzzi, whirlpool, and soaking tub?

Jacuzzi

Technically a brand name, but used generically for any jetted tub. In hotel listings, "jacuzzi suite" almost always means a private in-room tub with built-in air or water jets. Heat is usually preset; jets are user-controlled.

Whirlpool

Functionally identical to a jacuzzi — water jets circulate heated water for a massage effect. The term is more common at Marriott, Hilton, and Wyndham brands. Most "whirlpool suites" hold two adults comfortably.

Soaking tub

Deeper than a standard bathtub, usually 18–22 inches, but with no jets. Common in boutique and luxury hotels — quieter, more spa-like, and better for a long hot soak than the jet-driven hum of a jacuzzi.

Hot tub

In strict use, a standalone heated tub holding 100°F+ water. In hotel marketing, often used interchangeably with jacuzzi or whirlpool. A genuine in-room "hot tub" with full thermostat control is rare outside cabin-style resorts.

Every listing on this page specifies which type you'll find in the room. We list only properties with the tub in your room — not in a shared pool area or the lobby spa.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do Winston-Salem hotels have hot tubs?

Only the Best Western Plus Hanes Mall has a pool — an indoor pool with free breakfast. The Kimpton Cardinal boutique hotel and the Shaffner Inn historic B&B do not have pools or in-room hot tubs; their appeal is the downtown location, historic character and boutique design. For in-room jacuzzi suites, High Point's Seven Oaks (25 minutes away) is the closest option.

Which hotel is best for a romantic couples' stay?

The Shaffner Inn is ideal for romance — a historic B&B from the early 1900s with period charm, free breakfast and a small-inn feel. The Piedmont Room on the top floor is particularly spacious. The Kimpton Cardinal is a stylish boutique alternative with modern design, a bar and a walkable downtown location. Both have character and walkability; neither has a pool or jacuzzi.

Is Old Salem walkable from downtown hotels?

Yes — both the Kimpton Cardinal and the Shaffner Inn are downtown and walkable to Old Salem. You can explore the historic village on foot, tour the Moravian buildings and gardens, and enjoy Fourth Street restaurants and galleries. Old Salem also has ample parking if you prefer to drive.

What's the best time to visit Winston-Salem?

Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) are ideal — mild weather makes walking Old Salem and Reynolda gardens a pleasure. Summer is warm and busy with festivals; winter is cool and features Old Salem's Christmas celebration and Tanglewood's Festival of Lights. Each season offers something, but spring and fall are most comfortable.

How far is Winston-Salem from Greensboro and Charlotte?

Greensboro is about 30 minutes east; Charlotte is about 1.5 hours south. Both are easy day trips or overnight getaways from Winston-Salem. Greensboro has the Grandover spa resort, and Charlotte has pool hotels and cultural attractions like the NASCAR Hall of Fame. High Point is only 25 minutes away and offers the luxury Seven Oaks B&B.

For History Lovers & Couples What makes Winston-Salem special for a heritage-focused stay?

Winston-Salem is built around history — Old Salem is a restored 18th-century Moravian village where you can tour period homes and meet interpreters in costume, and the Reynolda House sits in the grand estate gardens of R.J. Reynolds. The Shaffner Inn is a historic B&B from the early 1900s with period details and free breakfast; the Kimpton Cardinal is housed in the landmark art-deco R.J. Reynolds building downtown. Both boutique and inn properties let you wake up in architectural character.

For Families & Shoppers What's good for families, shopping and quick poolside time?

The Best Western Plus Hanes Mall is your go-to — it has an indoor pool, free breakfast and free parking, plus it's steps from Hanes Mall for shopping. It's a reliable, family-friendly value base. The Kaleideum children's museum is a hit, Tanglewood Park has trails and playgrounds, and the pool at your hotel covers your soak time. You're also well-positioned near I-40 for day trips to Greensboro and Charlotte.

For Cultural Explorers Where should I stay to maximize walking and cultural attractions?

Downtown is your base — both the Kimpton Cardinal and the Shaffner Inn are walkable to Old Salem, the Innovation Quarter, Fourth Street galleries and restaurants. The Kimpton has a rec room with games and a bar, and the Shaffner Inn offers intimate B&B charm. You're within walking distance of the city's best cultural venues and can explore downtown on foot in the morning, then drive to Reynolda and Tanglewood Park for afternoon visits.

For Business Travelers What hotel works best for a business stay?

The Best Western Plus Hanes Mall has conference facilities, free WiFi, free breakfast and parking — everything a business traveler needs at a value price. The Kimpton Cardinal is a boutique option downtown with valet parking and a fitness center if you prefer a more upscale experience closer to downtown. Both have reliable service and are well-positioned for business needs.

Why trust us

Hand-verified. No AI filler.

Every hotel on this page has been personally verified to have a private, in-room hot tub or jacuzzi — not a shared pool tub, not a bathroom soaker, not a spa amenity you have to book. We cross-check three sources for every listing: the hotel's own room photos and descriptions, recent guest reviews on TripAdvisor and Google, and direct confirmation from the hotel where unclear. We don't take payment for placement, and we don't generate listings with AI. If a hotel's tub status changes or a property closes, the page updates the next time we re-verify the city (Dothan was last checked May 2026).
