Guests can also purchase reusable water bottles from the hotel’s gift shop, with $2 from each bottle supporting water-insecure communities all over the world.

 

The new Tempo hotel sits next to Homewood Suites by Hilton Raleigh Downtown, featuring 134 apartment-style suites with separate living and sleeping spaces, as well as fully equipped kitchens. This new property serves daily complimentary breakfast, including the brand’s signature breakfast tacos. Every Wednesday evening, guests can enjoy free drinks and bites.
