STAY When you come to Charlotte, you must stay uptown. It is the center of all the action, and with the convenience of the light rail, you can explore surrounding neighborhoods with ease. The Kimpton Tryon Park Hotel, right next to Romare Bearden Park, is surrounded by several restaurants and bars. Don’t miss the rooftop terrace and bar—it provides a spectacular view of the city. If you want to experience a piece of Charlotte his- tory, stay at The Ivey’s Hotel. This bou- tique hotel, formerly Ivey’s department store, has been renovated to provide a modern vintage flair. Request a street 82 PEACHYTHEMAGAZINE.COM side room and view all of the uptown action from your beautiful terrace. The Marriott City Center also has much to offer in terms of location and con- venience. Located right at the center of the city, you’ll have direct access to a stylish cafe, Coco and the Director, and you can enjoy an evening of craft drinks and cuisine at Stoke, the restau- rant located inside the hotel (try the oversized donut).
