Effective May 14, 2021, all capacity restrictions and social distancing requirements were lifted for North Carolina restaurants, bars and meeting spaces in hotels. Some venues may continue to implement stronger restrictions on a case-by-case basis and unvaccinated people should continue to maintain social distance from others and wear face coverings.
Our pledge is a shared commitment with you and all meeting participants to keep each other healthy.
Our meeting properties have enhanced meeting and event space cleaning and safety protocols in place, drawing from current guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, N.C. Health and Human Services and local health departments along with recommendations from the U.S. Travel Association, APEX COVID-19 Business Recovery Task Force Guidelines, and hotel corporate offices. These guidelines will change depending on new guidance received from governmental departments.
