Special Package with Cameron Park Inn
Second Empire has teamed with Cameron Park Inn to bring you a special package.
Date Night Package
You’ll know this experience is going to be special when your innkeepers greet you with a surprise just for Date Night guests. Then, begin your evening with a choice of romantic carriage rides:
1. J&L Carriage will take you from the inn to the fabulous Second Empire for dinner (take taxi back to the inn) or
2. Provide your own transportation to Second Empire and have the carriage meet you there for a one-hour, pre-dinner ride in downtown Raleigh.
A $75 gift certificate for the meal is included with either option in this package.
Advance notice is required. Please be sure to mention your carriage ride preference: inn to restaurant or pre-dinner downtown tour. To book the Date Night package, please email Nikki or call 919-835-2171 or 1-888-257-2171.
