Ivey's Hotel

Top choice in Charlotte


The Ivey's 42 Parisian-inspired rooms – all on the 2nd floor of a 1924 department-store building – are steeped in history (the 400-year-old oak-wood floors were sourced from a French winery) but have modern flair (55in Sony TVs, Bose soundbars). The balcony executive corner suites, awash in natural-light-sucking windows and exposed brick, are divine.

Crown-molded doors and hallways, unique watch-face art, Frette linens, custom-designed furniture – the meticulously curated decor leaves no detail to chance.
