One Day in Charlotte
Charlotte, North Carolina is known to locals as The Queen City and whether you are a King or a Queen - there is plenty to do for all ages in this multicultural Southern town. Though it is a modern city architecturally, it also boasts beautifully preserved historic neighborhoods with a vibrant arts scene and active nightlife. Charlotte also features a new public transportation system that makes travel from the suburbs into town, easy and economical!
It's hard to go wrong with a chain as reliable as Westin, and the Charlotte branch of this great hotel chain located in Uptown does not disappoint. Enjoy their trademarked (for a reason) Heavenly Bed, the gorgeous views of the modern skyline or indulge in the gastronomic delights that BAR10 and Ember Grille have to offer.
Amelie's is decidedly French in its cuisine, but thanks to interior designer Brenda Ische this eclectically designed and award winning bakery that features a full line of European coffee drinks - will win over anyone who walks through its doors. The added bonus is that Amelie's is open 24 hours a day and features free WiFi.
