It's an exceptionally busy year for Tift Merritt, who is releasing a new album, advocating for pro-musician legislation and helping open The Gables, a boutique hotel in Raleigh.
Why it matters: After years of renovating the historic but vacant Gables Motor Lodge, The Gables is now accepting reservations beginning Sept. 15.
Earlier reservations are expected to be added when the hotel officially opens this summer.
Zoom in: The 18-room boutique hotel in the Mordecai neighborhood is the result of a team effort from Merritt, Daniel Robinson of The Durham Hotel, and Sarah Yarborough of Heyday Studios.
In addition to guest rooms, the hotel will also have a neighborhood bar called The Alcove.
