3 Best Day Trips from Charlotte
"Upon arriving at Hotel Trundle, the first impression is how "un-hotel-y" it looks. First, the facade is actually multiple buildings, which speaks to the owners' commitment to architecture and preservation in repurposing historic structures. Walk in and there's that juxtaposition that boutique hotel aficionados often applaud—architectural details of pressed tin ceilings and exposed brick with modern glass walls, technology, and furniture. This place is truly connected to the modern creative Columbia scene, and that comes through the art throughout the hotel. It's from local artists, including a unicorn (the hotel's symbol) painted directly on the wall. There's even graffiti left on some exposed brick on some walls, so if you love funky, this is the only place to stay in town." - Stephanie Burt
