“Anyone looking to experience the down-home charm and character of the South should head to Uptown Charlotte. The fine dining, world-class accommodations and phenomenal arts and culture scene that define the thriving Uptown district reflect the softer side of North Carolina’s ‘Queen City.’” - American Eagle Latitudes – Uptown Charlotte: A Spirited Art Enclave 

Looking to visit a big city in the south? I am sure your list of options is short. Do you have Charlotte, NC on there? Well, do you?? If not, please add it. Charlotte is quickly carving out a strong identity in the south and swaying a lot of the young, educated and hip from Atlanta. Imagine that...

Uptown Charlotte is the city center. Buzzing with high rises, businesses, restaurants and a vibrant social scene, Charlotte is getting the attention of some pretty influential party planners. The 2012 Democratic National Convention confirmed and headed to Charlotte. The CIAA Basketball Tournament has made Charlotte home for quite a few years. And when you have a NFL stadium (Charlotte Panthers) sitting right there in the middle of the city, looks like Charlotte has the secret sauce in quickly becoming a southern city powerhouse.

Now that you have a few good reasons to visit Charlotte, North Carolina, top it off with a great hotel. Make your reservations at the Westin Charlotte. This Starwood property is centrally located to everything and place for your ideal Charlotte experience.

The guestrooms are spacious and the beds are divine. One of my favorite features are the huge windows that seem to outline room. I am one of those travelers who open the curtains as soon as I check-in. I need to see where I am...scope out the view. And the Westin Charlotte does not disappoint. A large window accessorizes the bed's headboard and makes it easy to watch that quiet sunset; oh so city chic!!
Before you checkout, start at least one morning with an amazing breakfast, at the Westin's Ember Grill. Breakfast, by far, is my favorite meal of the day and I do not believe in rushing through a well laid out buffet. Sit down, slowly sip your coffee and/or juice and savor each bite. The grill staff will take great care of you.

*A-List tip - Get the best view with those large windows. When making your reservation, request a room on a high floor. 

Happy travels!!!
