"The parade of Rolls-Royces, Teslas, and Range Rovers lining the semicircular driveway is the first sign that you've entered a rarefied world. The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte, is indeed the granddaddy of luxury hotels in the area. It has all the bells and whistles you might expect, like a renowned cocktail bar and some you might not, like a bilevel spa with a pink Himalayan salt room." - Nancy DePalma
