AC Hotel by Marriott Charlotte Ballantyne now Open

There’s lots to love about Charlotte! The Queen’s city has added another gem to its crown with the completion of the all new  AC Hotel By Marriott Charlotte Ballantyne. The Ballantyne area has long been a safe haven from the hustle and bustle of downtown Charlotte and has developed into a stronghold for those that prefer a slower lifestyle but still desire city amenities.

The new AC Hotel Charlotte Ballantyne is truly fit for a queen - the plush beds come equipped with premium linens, soft duvets and ample plush pillows. Each room was designed to maximize efficiency and declutter - saving you from the chaos of an unpacked suitcase. Wake up in serenity as you pull back the curtain to reveal the stunning city skyline along rolling green hills. Embrace the morning routine with a European style breakfast from the AC Kitchen. The fresh fruit, artisanal cheese, cured meats and curated selection of imported delicacies is the ideal way to start the day.

From there, you can explore the amenities of the hotel like the expansive fitness center which includes a yoga studio on-site available 24/7 for guest use. Our favorite find was an impromptu yoga class from a local yoga studio. Our exploration also led us to the construction of a new restaurant on the 16th floor! Rumor has it this will be an upscale Asian Fusion restaurant with panoramic views of downtown - just one more excuse to come back!

The hotel itself is located in the fantastical Ballantyne Village where you can indulge in indie cinema at the local theater with a cultured cocktail or sing your heart out at the weekly open mic nights. Daytime shoppers can bask in the southern sun as they stroll through hundreds of shops and restaurants and be dazzled as day turns to night and twinkling lights illuminate the winding paths full of performers, boutiques, and fellow shoppers. All that glitters truly is golden here in the Queen’s City. Book your stay here!
