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 of 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. 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 your mani/pedi colors. 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.
