The Restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte

"Street-side BLT Steak restaurant and over 12,000 square-feet of meeting and conference space add to the appeal, and the wellness center with penthouse spa rounds out the accommodations of the Uptown retreat"

"Among the unique “bells and whistles” of this “divine” Uptown “palace” are the beehives on the roof, whose honey is used in ice cream and cocktails at the on-site restaurant and lounge (as well as in treatments at the two-story spa); the eco-friendly (LEED Gold-certified) building’s “immaculate” rooms feature TVs built into the bathroom mirrors and “soft and comfortable” beds, and though fans warn you should “be prepared to spend” for the “luxurious” experience and "first-rate" service, most agree that it’s “worth every penny"

"With 120 restaurants and upwards of 50 nightclubs, your location in uptown Charlotte puts you in the center of the action"
