DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh-Cary
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
It is worth booking if you want the only 4-star hotel among our Cary picks for almost the same price as a 3-star, with a restaurant, gym and free parking listed. Skip it if you need to walk to sights, since everything in our data is 46 minutes or more away on foot.

This is our Luxury pick in Cary. In this city, luxury means a 4-star hotel rather than a 5-star, and the price is close to the local median. It suits business travellers, couples and families with a car who want an on-site restaurant and a gym without paying a large premium.
Travellers without a car should think twice. The nearest sight in our data is a long walk away. If written guest feedback matters to you, note that our data holds no summary of specific likes or dislikes for this hotel, only its overall score.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at 500 Caitboo Avenue in Cary. Guests give the location 9.5 out of 10, which is high, though our data does not say what drives that score.
WakeMed Soccer Park is 3.7 km away, about 46 minutes on foot. Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral in Raleigh is 6.4 km away, roughly 80 minutes, and the North Carolina Museum of Art is 6.6 km away, around 83 minutes. All three are far, so you will need a car, a taxi or public transport. These are straight-line walking estimates, and real routes are usually longer.
Free parking is listed by the property, which makes driving the simplest way to get around. Confirm it for your dates.
What guests say
The overall score is 9.1 out of 10 from 179 reviews. In the sample we checked, that was joint first of 9 eligible properties.
Beyond the score, our data has no breakdown of what guests praise or criticise here. That means we cannot tell you about staff, noise or room condition from guest comments. Read recent reviews on the booking site, sorting by newest, to see what people mention most.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price was €158.22 per night, around €316 for two nights. This is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates. The sample median was €157.10, so this hotel sat just above the middle of the market.
The property lists a gym, a pool, a restaurant, free parking, family rooms, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a terrace. Breakfast is listed as a buffet, but whether your rate includes it is not confirmed.
Compare that with Hampton Inn & Suites Raleigh Cary Lenovo Center, our Best Value pick, at €154.65 a night with the same 9.1 score but 3 stars. Our Budget pick, Sonesta ES Suites Raleigh Cary, was €127.46 a night with a score of 8.8. If the restaurant and the fourth star matter, the extra few euros over the Hampton are small.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 hotels in Cary. Our Luxury slot looks for a 5-star first, and a 4-star only qualifies if it scores at least 8.5. This DoubleTree scored 9.1, shared the top guest score in the sample and is priced near the median, so it earned the place.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check the room type and the cancellation rules on your rate.
Ask whether breakfast is included, whether the pool is open in November and whether the restaurant serves dinner on your dates. Opening times and fees for facilities are not confirmed. Because our data has no guest comments for this hotel, a quick look at the latest reviews is worth the time.
