"In Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina, the Grand Bohemian Charlotte offers a lively escape inspired by the Viennese secession art movement and a fusion of Argentinian and European cultures. Around every corner, you’ll find original artwork by international talents. Step into the lobby and marvel at the gleaming porcelain floor, meticulously paired with a sleek stainless steel front desk. Admire the gold-leaf barrel vault ceiling and mural by artist Sarah Pelfrey, featuring crystal swallows symbolizing luck and prosperity. Also, find pieces by Buenos Aires artist Andrea Carreras, including a modern depiction of the story of Lady Godiva on her horse, located to the left of the front desk, and the signature bohemian horse statue by Jiang Tiefeng. Find more Argentinian influences at Mico Restaurant, where colorful murals, gold-leaf columns, and custom chandeliers, all inspired by Argentina’s landscapes, fill the space. Andrea Carreras’ paintings also grace the walls. The artistic atmosphere continues within the rooftop bar, Búho, which offers an imaginative selection of cocktails and South American-inspired tapas that are perfect for sharing. The theme continues in the guest rooms—as you exit the elevator, notice the work by Max Pedreira hanging on the corridor walls. Follow the tango dancer’s fan on the custom carpet to your room, where leather headboards pay homage to the country’s heritage. The iron gates from Buenos Aires’s Paz Palace inspire the room’s drapes, while Pablo Santibanez Servat’s portraits are on the nightstands."
"An Uptown Charlotte refuge inspired by the Viennese secession and infused with Argentinian and European influences, the hotel showcases original artwork at every turn. The lobby pairs a gleaming porcelain floor and stainless steel desk with a gold-leaf barrel-vault ceiling mural by Sarah Pelfrey featuring crystal swallows; works by Andrea Carreras include a modern Lady Godiva; and a signature bohemian horse statue by Jiang Tiefeng punctuates the space. Mico Restaurant amplifies Argentinian motifs with colorful murals, gold-leaf columns, and custom chandeliers, while the rooftop bar Búho serves inventive cocktails and South American–inspired tapas. Artwork continues into corridors and rooms—pieces by Max Pedreira, a tango-dancer fan motif in the carpet, leather headboards, drapery inspired by Buenos Aires’s Paz Palace gates, and portraits by Pablo Santibanez Servat—creating a richly artistic, culturally layered stay near Charlotte’s major art institutions." - AFAR
"Grand Bohemian appeals to those in favor of glitz and glam. But don’t be fooled by the regal, gold-plated decor — there’s a serious culinary finesse beneath its fanciful exterior. The Argentinian-inspired dishes at Mico Restaurant are expertly crafted (don’t miss the dreamy chimichurri croquettes), while the chic open-air Buho Bar gives sippers a panoramic view of the Queen City." - Kayleigh Ruller
"Enter the gilded doors of Grand Bohemiam’s 16th floor, Buho Bar, and experience this upscale rooftop bar’s take on South American food and flair. Both hotel guests and locals can enjoy the Grand Bo Old Fashioned with black walnut bitters, a cool $32 cocktail flight sampling, and chimichurri croquettes. With its panoramic views, live DJs on weekend nights, and Tuesday night salsa and bachata dancing, Buho clearly takes its “grand” nametag seriously. Go grand (bohemian), or go home, basically." - Vox Creative
"It’s smack dab in Uptown, but step inside the Grand Bohemian and you’ll feel more like you’re in Miami or South America than buttoned up Charlotte. It’s the epitome of unexpected, with a design aesthetic that’s joie de vivre mixed with a sexy spirit. Bold colors and dazzling accents define the look. Business travelers who don’t want to forsake flair frequent this hotel, along with leisure travelers looking for more of a scene. But while it may have a boutique hotel look and feel, it’s decidedly a Marriott when it comes to service. Expect all of the niceties, with an added bonus: a partnership with BMW means you can be shuttled about town in an X7. (no reservations required; offered on a complimentary basis.)" - Nancy DePalma
