RALEIGH — A rooftop bar and restaurant is coming to a new hotel in Raleigh as the city moves toward having more high-end accommodations downtown.
High Rail, which will be located atop a new Hyatt House in Raleigh’s historic Seaboard Station, will open this fall. Hoffman & Associates, a developer of mixed-use and residential communities, partnered with Concord Hospitality for the project. Seaboard Station is home to the city’s historic train station and railyard, which High Rail will honor and celebrate. The name was chosen to “embody the spirit of adventure and innovation while paying homage to the historic location.”
“We’re incredibly excited to bring High Rail to the Raleigh community,” said Anthony Zinani, general manager at Hyatt House Seaboard Station. “This rooftop bar and restaurant is all about creating memorable experiences with a nod to Raleigh’s distinct history. We’ve designed High Rail to be a place where people can come together to enjoy elevated cuisine, craft cocktails, local beers and a wide array of wines, all while experiencing the cityscape views and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of Seaboard Station,” he added.
Seaboard Station has been a crossroads for generations, connecting travelers and locals across the region. This reimagined neighborhood, including the Hyatt House hotel, wants to honor the community’s industrial roots while offering a vibrant, modern destination where people and energy converge and connect. High Rail features a 4,492-square-foot rooftop with a large outdoor terrace with fire pits and a bar. In addition, patrons will enjoy a large central bar with lounge seating and sit-down dining areas with panoramic views of the Raleigh skyline.
High Rail will offer craft cocktails, various draft beers, local craft brews, domestic favorites and international imports along with shareable bites, entrees, salads and sweets featuring local ingredients like Yuzu, sugar cane and Chartreuse.
The Hyatt House is part of the second phase of Hoffman & Associates’ plans for Seaboard Station, adjacent to William Peace University and Turnbridge Equities redevelopment of the old Seaboard train station.
