I’m currently in Charlotte, NC, staying in the Kimpton Tryon Park Hotel in uptown Charlotte. It’s not necessarily inexpensive ($246 per night) and parking costs are $30 per day. However, if you want or need to be within walking distance of places such as Discovery Place Science, NASCAR Hall of Fame, Bank of America Stadium, and the Harvey B. Gantt Center, this is a great place to be.
We booked directly on the IHG site so we could get the hotel points but rates might be lower elsewhere. At the time, I didn’t know about the Green Book Global partners, so make sure you check those as well!
There have been quite a few people of color working here so I’ve felt extremely comfortable in spite of the slightly “hipster” vibe. I’ll have to come back to review some of the eateries because we only stayed two nights. I had an accessible room due to some healthcare challenges and room 214 was very suitable for me. I believe they even have a “spa suite” but that definitely was not in our budget!
