CHARLOTTE MEETINGS

CHARLOTTE HOTEL DEVELOPMENT

As one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. and with an increase in business and leisure travel each year, the hotel market in Charlotte—the largest city in the Carolinas—is one of the most active in the country.

CHARLOTTE IS BUILDING FOR BETTER MEETINGS

With over 5,600 hotel rooms in Center City, and an additional 1,274 more rooms scheduled to open in Uptown through 2022, attendees will be within walking distance to the Charlotte Convention Center. In the Queen City's diverse neighborhoods, there are approximately 27,000-plus hotel rooms that will accompany any group's needs. As of early-2021, there are over a dozen projects under construction in Mecklenburg County and more than 40 total projects in various planning stages of the development pipeline.
