Grand Bohemian Hotel–Charlotte

$$$$ | 201 W. Trade St., Charlotte, NC, 28202, USA Fodor's Choice

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.

Pros

  • On-site Poseidon Spa is one of the city's best
  • Lobby includes a Starbucks
  • Feels like staying in a trendy art museum

Cons

  • The sixth-floor patio is great, but may not be available due to weddings
  • Much of the art contains nudity, making it iffy for some families with small kids
  • Parking is valet-only

  • Central location

Cons
