The StateView Hotel, Autograph Collection
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.
The StateView Hotel is worth booking if you want a quiet, upscale base on the university campus and do not mind paying the highest rate of our three Raleigh picks. Skip it if you mostly want the best guest score per euro, because our Best Value pick scores higher for less.

This is our Luxury pick in Raleigh. It suits visitors with business at the university, couples who want green surroundings rather than a downtown street, and anyone who uses a hotel gym or pool.
It is a weaker match for travellers who want to walk to most sights. Several are far from here. It also fits poorly if you want the most proven option: the score rests on 150 reviews, a modest base.
Location and getting around
The address is 2451 Alumni Drive. Guests describe a quiet setting on the university campus with green scenery and lake views, and rate the location 9.1/10.
Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral is about 1.7 km away, roughly 21 minutes on foot. The North Carolina Museum of Art is about 5.6 km, around 70 minutes, and WakeMed Soccer Park about 7.4 km, around 93 minutes. Those last two are far, so plan on public transport, a taxi or a car. All walking times are straight-line estimates.
Parking is not listed in our data, so its availability and cost are not confirmed. Ask the hotel if you are driving.
What guests say
The StateView scores 8.7/10 from 150 reviews. That placed it sixth of the 10 eligible hotels we compared on guest score alone.
Guests like the calm campus setting, the greenery and the lake views. Staff are described as professional, friendly and accommodating.
Breakfast draws mixed comments. The food is called high quality, but some guests mention cold coffee and rushed service. The breakfast type listed is American.
Price and what you get, compared with our other picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults was €265.79 a night, roughly €532 for both nights. It is not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.
The property lists a gym, a pool, a restaurant, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a garden and a terrace. Opening hours and any fees have not been confirmed.
Best Western Plus Raleigh Crabtree Valley Hotel, our Budget pick, was €104.14 a night with 8.4/10. Hilton Garden Inn Raleigh/Crabtree Valley, our Best Value pick, was €148.96 a night with 9.0/10. Both are 3-star. With The StateView you pay more for the fourth star, the campus setting and the facilities, not for a higher guest score.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 eligible hotels in Raleigh. Five-star hotels get priority for the Luxury slot. When none fits, a 4-star can take it with a score of at least 8.5. The StateView's 4 stars are estimated by the property rather than official, and its 8.7 cleared the bar.
