CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Uptown Charlotte is home to many things. From the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte Hornets to fancy restaurants and the Belk Theater, there's something for everyone in the city's center.
And if you need a place to stay, one of the best hotels in all of the U.S. is probably within walking distance. The Ivey's Hotel at the corner of Fifth Street and North Tryon was recently ranked the No. 14 best hotel in the U.S. by TripAdvisor.
According to the rankings, Ivey's "redefines luxury travel, offering the finest accommodations and impeccable service in the heart of Uptown Charlotte. The hotel has hosted numerous celebrities, including Kendall Jenner and Grumpy Cat (she hated it, of course).
The 47-room boutique hotel opened in 2017 after a multimillion-dollar renovation. The building was once home to the J.B. Ivey & Company department store in the 1920s. It also has Sophia's Lounge, one of Uptown's hottest locales for those looking for cocktails and a place to hang out.
Ivey's treats guests to a different level of luxury, offering custom furnishings, premium bedding and unique artwork in all of its rooms.
“We are so proud to be the only Tripadvisor 'Best of the Best 2023' designated hotel in Charlotte and also to be named as one of the Top 15 Hotels in the United States,” said Kyle DeHont, general manager of The Ivey's Hotel. “Awards like this help to shine a spotlight on not only on our hotel, but the city of Charlotte as well, and we couldn’t be more proud of our team, the hotel, and the Queen City.”
“We are so excited to be highlighted by these respected outlets. And even more so by our guests in their continued support, reviews, and patronage,” DeHont added.
The Spectator, the only luxury boutique hotel in Charleston, South Carolina, was ranked No. 17 by TripAdvisor. Savannah's Perry Lane Hotel was awarded the top spot in the rankings.
