"700 rooms!" Top 5 Page for this destination Westin Charlotte Tip by acemj

Many of my colleagues at work stay here when they come to Charlotte for training or meetings or other company affairs. The place was well received by the city when it opened in 2003 since its 700 rooms and great location in Uptown right across the street from the Convention Center will make Charlotte a more attractive location for conventions and major sporting events (which means money for the local economy). Since I live here, I've never stayed here, but my coworkers tell me the beds extremely comfortable and the rooms are spotless. I have been to the bar here called Bar 10 in the lobby, which is usually a lively spot on the weekends. There is also a good restaurant here called the Ember Grille.

Unique Qualities: The location is awesome within walking distance of all the major Uptown attractions. Another great thing about it is that the Charlotte Trolley runs right by the hotel and can take you down to the Southend where you'll find some more great restaurants and nightlife. There is also a gift shop just off the lobby that has a good selection of Charlotte and North Carolina themed items.

You might be able to find a better deal at times, but most of the rooms run about $180-200/night.
