Top-rated hotels in Charlotte
A shortlist of the top-rated hotels in Charlotte, North Carolina, ordered by star class and guest score from verified stays. It is for travellers deciding where to sleep in the city, whether for a short break, a business trip or a family visit.
Staying in Charlotte
Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina, and its hotels divide into two clear zones. The rest sit further out: SouthPark, off Apex Drive, Rexford Road, Roxborough Road and Carnegie Boulevard, and Ballantyne, on Ballantyne Commons Pkwy, plus one airport property on Coliseum Centre Dr. Uptown suits business travellers and anyone who wants the centre on foot, and its 5-star names, The Ritz Carlton Charlotte and Kimpton Tryon Park Hotel by IHG, sit here. SouthPark is the quieter, greener side, good for couples and families who prefer space and parking over street life. The Ballantyne hotel and the airport hotel serve longer stays and early flights. Every property on this list is classed four or five star by the supplier.
