Big news from our favorite small city.

New Bern, NC is full of new adventures to welcome travelers in the new year — headlined by the grand opening of the Tryon Riverfront Inn, a stylish stay in the heart of the cozy coastal getaway.

Opening its doors just a few days ago, this brand-new addition is part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton.

The 73-room boutique hotel features dreamy riverfront views, plus an unbeatable downtown location just a few steps from historic hotspots like Tryon Palace and the Birthplace of Pepsi.

Whether you’re looking for an easy-to-get-to waterfront retreat, a nearby Spring Break locale for the kids, or just a quiet weekend sipping and strolling through local shops, the new Hotel makes for an oh-so-luxurious home base.

As if we needed another reason to visit the coziest part of the state.

Exploring just got easier

Speaking of activities, planning your New Bern weekend of fun just became easier than ever thanks to their beautiful, newly redesigned website.

Even if you’ve never set foot in the town, the streamlined site helps you plan and customize your getaway with:

Tailor-made itineraries
Seamless event navigation (highlighting hundreds of monthly events)
Updated travel packages

(And planning ahead for annual favorites like Arts in April and the Heritage Homes Tour is now a breeze with their new "year-at-a-glance" layout.)

Did we mention all the new adventures? Explore new restaurants, boutiques, and lodging options you’ve likely never seen before (we can't wait for some bear-themed axe throwing).
