Fayetteville is the home of a major US Army installation and boasts a history shaped by military servicemen and women. Visitors looking for the best hotels to stay in the city center, and nearby Cumberland County neighborhoods, have plenty of options. This city won the All-America City Award on multiple occasions, an award recognizing civic engagement and strong community ties. That said, it is also a place where the arts and nature are revered just as much as its war heroes.
