Omni Charlotte Hotel

"What's the vibe?It's hard not to feel like the center of Charlotte’s universe when you’re staying at the Omni. The location is hard to beat, especially when traveling on business (the skywalk means you’re connected to the biggest players in Uptown).  Tell us about the room.The rooms are urban and chic, with earth tones and modern furnishings. They're well laid out for business travelers, yet still have personality. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi?Sign up for the rewards program at check-in, and Wi-Fi is free. How are the food and beverage options?There’s a lobby bar and a restaurant (Trade), but the real place to be is the poolside Coin Bar, which has dazzling views of Uptown. (Open seasonally from March through November) How did you find the service?The concierge has a terrific beat on the city, so be sure to ask about festivals, things to do, and where to eat. What's the crowd like?Suits during the week; brides, bachelorettes, and couples on weekends. How's the location?The Omni occupies a whole block, so it dominates the neighborhood. Any other hotel features of note?Guests can use the Charlotte Athletic Club, just off the lobby, for free. Other amenities include in-room spa services, 24-hour room service, a kids' program, and a small pool with unparalleled skyline views. What's the bottom line?This is a snazzy hotel with a location that can't be beat." - Nancy DePalma
