ABOUT

The Hive House Story

Hive House was born from a simple idea: to create a stay experience as vibrant and dynamic as Cary itself. Founded by a family of lifelong hoteliers, we wanted to reimagine what extended stay could look like—comfortable, design-forward, and full of personality. Our spaces are crafted for travelers who want more than a bed; they want a place to settle in, explore, and thrive.

Backed by decades of hospitality expertise and a passion for detail, Hive House is part of the CMC Hotels portfolio that includes award winning properties across North Carolina.
