JW Marriott Charlotte

AAA Diamond Inspector Notes

Upscale rooms feature luxury bedding, expansive work spaces, and glamorous bathrooms with oversize showers and marble vanities. One-bedroom suites offer an abundance of space with a sectional sofa and dinette in the living room, and two walls of floor-to-ceiling windows giving terrific views of the city. For an uptown conference hotel that’s home base to a lot business traffic, there are tons of ways to have fun and pamper yourself while here. There are three restaurants on site: an upscale Italian steakhouse, an oyster bar specializing in regional seafood, and a fifth-floor rooftop lounge with a menu of shareable plates and botanical-themed craft cocktails. If you’re looking for just a coffee and a sweet treat, they’ve got that too. Also on the rooftop, adjacent to the lounge, is a delightful outdoor pool, complete with lounge chairs immersed in the water on a tanning shelf, and several tricked-out cabanas for relaxing in the shade. The full-service spa offers an array of state-of-the-art treatments, including a couples’ massage room, curated tea service in the relaxation suite, and meditation soundtracks that coordinate with the colors you picked for your mani/pedi. All of uptown Charlotte’s attractions are within reach here. The convention center is across the street, and Panthers’ stadium is an easy walk, just four blocks away. Smoke free premises. 381 units. 23 stories, interior corridors. Accessibility (Call).
