Rated #1 in Greensboro on U.S. News Travel with a 9.7 out of 10, Proximity Hotel is by far the most acclaimed hotel in the Gate City — and one of the most remarkable hotels in the entire Southeast.

The 147 loft-style guest rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, custom locally fabricated furnishings, original artwork by resident artist Chip Holton, custom Magi Beds with European linens, and Aveda bath products. Bathrooms have double sinks with walk-in glass-walled showers and separate soaking tubs in select rooms.
