The moment you lay eyes on The Ivey’s faintly Parisian facade, you’ll feel transported to a luxurious space that’s not of this time. The gold doors offer an impressive preview of exactly what you’ll find inside; the top-of-the-line staff at this hotel take great pride in anticipating your needs and exceeding your expectations. While the decor throughout has cohesion and a classic elegance, each little detail is distinctive and thoughtful -- lending that priceless human touch.

European flair, Charlotte-style hospitality -- and service that rivals what you’ll find anywhere else in the world.

At The Ivey’s, style is a given. Convenience? That’s an unexpected perk. From a great complimentary breakfast to high-end in-room Nespresso Machines, this hotel caters to the busy guest who has fine taste. As you admire the eye-catching details, keep in mind that everything here was hand-selected. Your elegant guest room features flooring made from reclaimed French oak -- in a former life, that wood lined a luxurious vineyard in 16th Century France.

Culinary delights aren’t hard to find here. Begin your day with a complimentary continental breakfast, featuring locally sourced bakery items and freshly brewed coffee. In the evening, relax with a free wine and cheese hour on select evenings -- the perfect end to a long day. One of The Ivey’s greatest benefits is that it offers room service directly from the acclaimed restaurant next door, 5Church Charlotte. For a hip vibe, check out the in-house bar, Sophia’s Lounge, which offers imaginative cocktails and enticing snacks. If you’re looking for a cozy and exclusive hideout, the private, guests-only Library Lounge is a great place to enjoy a tasty espresso, a delicious glass of wine and a variety of other tempting treats.

From its intricate light fixtures to its custom columns, The Ivey’s is a real feast for the senses. Hosting a meeting? The multi-functional Tulip Room offers 1,000 square feet of high-tech capability and rich history. Its name itself is a conversation piece -- it’s named after The Tulip Terrace, a popular eatery that served debutants and shoppers at the J.B. Ivey’s Department Store throughout the 1900s. For those looking to break a sweat, the state-of-the-art, 1,500-foot fitness center offers the latest exercise machines, plus ample space and equipment for yoga, lifting and stretching.
