The 11 Best Hotels in Charlotte, North Carolina

"At the end of a long day, sometimes all you want is to come back to a hotel that isn’t competing with the to-do list in your head. You want sleek and modern but not a hipster haven. You want services and amenities without a dog and pony show. For times like these, stay at the Marriott City Center. It’s a classic Marriott in every way. Dark wood floors, clean lines, and a soothing color palette lend a contemporary, Asian-inflected design to the rooms and suites. The outlets here are highly stylized (think a chef’s table at Stoke and a cool coffee bar, plus a lounge that doubles as a working space) so if you’re feeling like staying right here, there are options. Still, with some of the city’s best restaurants within walking distance, venture beyond." - Nancy DePalma
