Raines to manage North Carolina Fairfield Inn & Suites

Hospitality management, development and investment organization Raines has added the Fairfield Inn & Suites Whitsett (N.C.) Greensboro East to its management portfolio. This is the third hotel that Raines is managing for Wilmington, N.C.-based developer Clarendon Properties.

The Fairfield Inn & Suites Whitsett Greensboro East is close to major North Carolina cities like Greensboro, Burlington and Durham. The area also has a significant industrial base, driving business demand. Local employers include Honda, Lenovo, Pratt Industries and the Alamance Regional Medical Center.

The 102-key hotel has an indoor pool, fitness center, convenience store and dry-cleaning service. There is a group meeting space that can accommodate up to 30 people. The lobby bar provides small-plate dining and craft cocktails.

“The addition of Fairfield Inn & Suites Whitsett Greensboro East to the Raines portfolio further solidifies our presence in the Southeast and positions us to capitalize on the region’s demand for both business and leisure travel,” Grey Raines, managing partner of Raines, said in a statement. “We are also thrilled to continue to build our relationship with Clarendon Properties, adding yet another of their hotels to our management portfolio. They are exceptional partners in this industry, and I look forward to seeing what we are able to accomplish together with this property.”

In 2024, Raines added more than 20 properties to its management portfolio, including 16 hotels in a pivotal partnership with Atlantic Hotels Group.
