Why the "Queen City?"
Charlotte earned its nickname in honor of Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of King George III, reflecting the city’s early ties to British history. Today, that legacy lives on in more than just a name.
While the city has grown into a dynamic destination known for its culinary scene, cultural attractions and vibrant neighborhoods, one tradition remains at the heart of it all: a genuine commitment to hospitality.
In Charlotte, the “royal treatment” isn’t just a phrase, it’s part of how we welcome every visitor. Whether you're here for business or discovery, you’ll find a city that puts people first and takes pride in making every stay feel exceptional.
