Charlotte is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States, with the airport being ranked the fifth busiest in the country. The city was originally formed at the crossroads of two Native American trading paths – Trade and Tryon. The Ivey’s Hotel has just celebrated their grand opening, and is already quickly gathering a lot of buzz. Originally, the building was Ivey’s Department Store that was opened in the early 1900’s, and designed by famed architect William H. Peeps. Now, after a multi-million dollar renovation, The Ivey’s Hotel is bringing an entirely new level of boutique luxury to Charlotte. Located in the heart of Charlotte’s Uptown central business district and entertainment zone, we think that this hotel will be a game-changer for Charlotte.

The Experience at The Ivey’s Hotel

For those who embrace the art of luxury, the 42 stylishly appointed rooms feature reclaimed 400-year-old French oak floors, custom designed lighting fixtures, bespoke furnishings, Frette Italian bedding, alongside a curated art collection on view throughout the hotel. All rooms are exquisitely decorated with an eclectic mix of custom-made art deco and Parisian-inspired details and modern richness. No two rooms are the same, allowing guests to be surprised all over again each time they stay at The Ivey’s Hotel.

The Ivey’s Hotel is the third and newest boutique hotel in The MRK Hotel Collection, which was imagined and then curated by the owners and their meticulous attention to details and comfort – the other hotels are located in Asheville, North Carolina and Miami Beach, Florida. Staying true to their methodology, The Ivey’s Hotel is close to all of the action of the city center, but holds true to its distinct personality that is the vibe of Charlotte, North Carolina.
