"There's nothing staid or traditional about The Ivey's, a boutique hotel with stylish decor not found anywhere else in Charlotte. Even check-in strays from the norm: Settle in to a teal velvet chair as you're welcomed into this appealing home-away-from-home. Rooms have a plush Paris-meets-New Orleans vibe, and the location can't be beat: it's directly across from the Blumenthal Center and within walking distance of everything else in Uptown." - Nancy DePalma
