The October 18 edition of NewsLink incorrectly listed the location of The Umstead Hotel and Spa, which is located in Cary. The NewsLink team deeply regrets the error. Additional information on The Umstead is included in today's correction.
 
For Condé Nast Traveler's 2017 Readers' Choice Awards, The Umstead Hotel and Spa in Cary was named #40 among the 50 Best Hotels in the World. The Umstead Hotel and Spa was named #3 among the 10 Best Hotels in the U.S.  
 
Of the Umstead's inclusion among the world's best hotels and the U.S.'s best hotels, it was noted, "Next to Umstead State Park and ten minutes from Raleigh, The Umstead Hotel and Spa has 150 rooms furnished in golds and greens, ribbon windows from floor to ceiling, and balconies with top-notch views. Our recommendation? Take lunch on the lakeside terrace at the hotel's signature Forbes Five Star restaurant, Herons - the lobster roll comes on a buttery bun with house-made pickles and chips. The spa is the main event, though; take a deep breath in the outdoor meditation courtyard before settling in for a moisturizing buttermilk and honey wrap or a deep tissue massage."
