Best Hotel
The Westin Charlotte
Since it opened in 2003, the 25-story, 700-room Westin, with its sleek, contemporary style, has become known as the citys swankiest and hippest hotel. Although it may be tempting not to venture outside the spacious and inviting rooms, each featuring the trademark, multilayered Heavenly bed, be sure to check out Bar 10 in the hotels lobby. This funky yet upscale spot features a full wine list and specialty drink menu, comfy lounge chairs, plasma televisions and a great view of the Center City.
