When it comes to luxury hotel, my preference is modern and elegant decoration, celebrity chef restaurant, swanky bar, well executed construction, thoughtful and sublime room details and features, guest service that makes you feel like a genuinely welcomed and esteemed guest.
And I would say Ritz Carlton in Charlotte meets all of my needs, the property achieves superb balance of classic and modern. I loved it! There was a lot to say about the modern, elegant and functional guest bath room, where I comfortably enjoyed a glass of pinot noir from room service, read my book in the perfectly deemed lighting (to my preference) while taking a lovely scented bath, and playing my favorite relaxation playlist on the ipod/iphone docker, and occasionally look up to see the latest news headline on TV in the bathroom mirror (muted).
The next morning, I enjoyed a good workout in the modern and equipped gym on the top floor while enjoying the view of Charlotte and a lovely swim in their very elegant and large pool.
The only complain is the noise from the Club/Lounge nearby can get pretty loud, the noise level depends on which area of the building you are in.
