The Spa at The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte

"" The spa, with four treatment rooms and a bromine-treated indoor pool, "is awesome"

"The hotel's penthouse Spa & Wellness Center allows for special treatment while a night time swim in the pool is magical as city lights shine through surrounding sheer glass windows"

"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"

"This contemporary Charlotte hotel has gone green — it has a vegetated roof, its own beehives, a spa with organic and eco-friendly treatments, a hybrid house car and complimentary bicycles (with a bike valet, this is a luxury hotel after all)"

"Work it off in the 24-7 fitness center, or bliss out in the 13,000 square foot spa with steam, sauna and experience showers, a whirlpool and swimming pool and a manicure-pedicure studio"
