Raleigh · Downtown
Formerly PNC Arena
Stay minutes from the action — and walk to dinner. Lenovo Center (you may still know it as PNC Arena) is Raleigh's big-league arena: home of the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes and NC State Wolfpack basketball, plus the biggest touring concerts. It's about a 12–15 minute drive from Trifecta's downtown apartment at 400H. Catch a Canes game, a concert, or NCAA hoops, then drive back to walkable downtown Raleigh and a furnished apartment with a full kitchen and your own bed.
How close you'll be
Trifecta's downtown Raleigh apartment is in 400H — the high-rise at the crossroads of the Warehouse District and Glenwood South — about a 12–15 minute drive from Lenovo Center. Stay in walkable downtown, drive out for the game or the show, and skip the crawl out of the arena lots on the way back.

What guests say
1,030 verified guest reviews across our downtown Raleigh apartments, averaging 4.8★ — here are a few, unedited.
“Great place to stay for a long weekend trip. Would definitely recommend and will stay again if we are back in the area in the future.”
“Had a great stay! The building is beautiful and in a perfect location. The apartment was perfect for 1 or 2!”
“This place was incredibly clean, with a fantastic and the building has wonderful amenities. You would definitely stay here again.”
“Clean apartment with good amenities in the middle of downtown raleigh”
“Who gets an open-air balcony on the 18th floor to watch the sunset? This guy! A fabulous 1-BR apartment has become my go-to stay for business in Raleigh. Fantastic unit, Nest thermostats, firm mattress, and a coffee bar in the lobby. Goodbye, Marriott!”
“We had a great stay! Everything about this stay was exactly what we needed for our weekend in Raleigh”
“Perfect location and a really great apartment building. I’ve been visiting Raleigh for 12 years now and no longer book hotels…I come here exclusively.”
“Very clean and directions were clear. When messaging the host they always responded in a timely manner! Great spot.”
“Great location in Raleigh. Easy access to multiple restaurants and venues. Nice and very clean apartment. Would stay again!”
Apartment vs hotel
Feed a group before the event and skip the overpriced venue concessions. Cookware, dishwasher, full-size fridge — all included.
A separate bedroom, a full living room, and a real kitchen — room to actually relax or work, not one cramped hotel room.
Pack light for a multi-night run of shows or a season of home games. Washer and dryer in every unit.
For two nights or more, a furnished apartment usually beats a comparable downtown hotel — and direct booking drops the 15–20% OTA service fee entirely.
Event lots empty slowly and the drive home is long. Stay minutes away and the worst of your night is a short, familiar trip back to your own door — resident parking waiting, no hour-plus crawl out and no late highway haul.
We own and operate every apartment. Book direct and you reach the people who run the building, instantly confirmed.
Getting around
This is a drive-to arena — about 6 miles west of downtown via Wade Avenue, with no rail and only limited buses, so plan on a ~12–15 minute drive or a rideshare. The upside is where you stay: 400H sits in the heart of walkable downtown Raleigh, so you get Glenwood South, the Warehouse District, and Raleigh Union Station on foot, and the arena a short drive away.
West on Wade Avenue to I-440 / Edwards Mill Road — about 6 miles / 12–15 minutes from downtown, longer on event days. The arena has roughly 8,000 on-site spaces (cashless; about $15–$40 for most events), shared with Carter-Finley and the Fairgrounds.
A quick, easy hop from downtown — the simplest way to skip the post-event lot exit. Drop-off and pickup stage near Gate C off Trinity Road.
Raleigh has no light rail, and GoRaleigh bus service out to Edwards Mill is limited (and thin after about 8pm), so it isn’t practical for a late game or concert — plan on driving or a rideshare.
About 13 miles / a 20-minute drive — easy for a fly-in game or concert weekend.
Make a weekend of it
Base in walkable downtown Raleigh: Glenwood South's restaurants and rooftops and the Warehouse District's food hall and galleries are at 400H's door — dinner before the game, a nightcap after, and a quick drive to the arena in between.
Raleigh's main entertainment strip — restaurants, rooftop bars, and live music — starts right at 400H's door, a natural pre- or post-game stop.
A food hall with about 20 local concepts, plus breweries, restaurants, and the Videri Chocolate Factory — all a short walk from 400H.
Amtrak (the Carolinian, Piedmont, and Floridian) is a short walk away — arrive by train and you barely need a car except for the drive to the arena.
NC State football at Carter-Finley shares the same west-Raleigh complex as the arena — pair a Canes game or concert with a Wolfpack Saturday.
Planning for 2026: Lenovo Center is mid-renovation — part of a $1B-plus entertainment-district build — and the arena goes dark for about eight weeks in July–August 2026 to install new seating, reopening for the 2026–27 season (which is why the live calendar jumps from June to the fall). The arena’s name also changed from PNC Arena to Lenovo Center in 2024; many fans and search engines still use both.
Good to know
400H is in downtown Raleigh, about 6 miles — a 12–15 minute drive west on Wade Avenue — from the arena. A rideshare is the easy option, especially leaving after a sold-out game or concert. Times are approximate and longer on event days.
Yes — the arena was renamed from PNC Arena to Lenovo Center in 2024 (a Lenovo naming-rights deal). It’s the same building at 1400 Edwards Mill Road, home of the Carolina Hurricanes and NC State basketball. Many fans and search results still say “PNC Arena.”
Realistically you’ll drive or rideshare. Raleigh has no light rail, and bus service out to the arena is limited and thin late at night, so it isn’t practical for a game or concert. The good news: a rideshare from downtown is quick, and you skip the arena-lot crawl.
The arena has about 8,000 on-site spaces (cashless), shared with Carter-Finley and the Fairgrounds; most events run about $15–$40, more for premium lots, and the lots empty slowly afterward. Staying downtown lets you rideshare over and skip it — and 400H includes secured resident parking.
Yes — the arena is being renovated and goes dark for about eight weeks in July–August 2026 to install new seating, reopening for the 2026–27 season, so the live calendar jumps from June to the fall. It’s part of a larger $1B entertainment-district build around the arena.
The calendar above pulls upcoming events live from Ticketmaster and refreshes automatically — Carolina Hurricanes hockey, NC State basketball, and the biggest touring concerts and comedy. Past dates drop off and new ones appear on their own.
