Hotels in North Carolina, United States

North Carolina spans the southeastern US from the Atlantic coast to the Appalachian Mountains, with a climate that shifts from mild winters (averaging 40°F/4°C in the mountains) to hot summers (often 90°F/32°C on the coast). The state is famous for the Wright Brothers' first flight at Kill Devil Hills and the Blue Ridge Parkway, offering a split between sandy Outer Banks beaches and mountain hiking through the Great Smoky Mountains. In summer, you can hang glide at Jockey's Ridge or paddle through the Alligator River, while spring and fall bring perfect 70°F/21°C temperatures for driving the Parkway's 469 miles of overlooks and waterfalls.
