Charlotte's take on this art-focused chain hotel is sleek and modern, like the Queen City, but with a subtle Argentinean undercurrent that's apparent in the paintings and sculptures, and in the food at Mico, the on-site restaurant. White marble and black accents set an upscale, neutral tone, while large-format portraits and gold-plated ceilings provide contrasting color. The rooftop bar, Buho, is a weekend hot spot for locals.
This stately resort hotel offers a spa, indoor and outdoor pools, an expansive fitness center, and luxurious amenities, although the slightly gaudy nature of the Marriott property can feel more like the Bellagio than a classic Southern inn. The spacious guest rooms have classic furniture and color schemes of gold, cream, and sage, and many have large porches. One side of the hotel once looked out on a golf course, adding to the resort vibe, but the course is also being redeveloped into homes and commercial space.
