The Graylyn Estate is listed on Historic Hotels of America’s “2024 Top 25 Best of Adaptive Reuse” for its historic preservation and renovations.

The property was once home to Bowman and Nathalie Gray. The Gray family donated the home to Wake Forest University in 1972. It was renovated into a world class boutique hotel and conference center in 1984. You can experience how the Graylyn Estate transformed from a private home to welcoming guests through a special package which includes a historic butler tour.
