Charlotte Area Guide
Named for the wife of King George III in 1769, Charlotte originally boomed around 1799 when a 17-pound gold nugget was found in our hills. Afterwards, not surprisingly, the area around our hotel in Charlotte was the site of the nation's first gold rush. Today's gold can be found in our banking industry. The Queen City is second only to New York in banking headquarters, with the Bank of America and Wachovia both here in town. If you're looking for some entertainment gold, head to Carowinds water and theme park, the Charlotte Bobcats Arena or the Regent Park Golf Club for a day of excitement. Lastly, all the shopping, dining and cultural activities of Charlotte are just minutes from the Hampton Inn & Suites® hotel in Charlotte-Arrowood Rd.Reserve your room today at our hotel in Charlotte, and be sure to ask us for some tips on how to enjoy all the activities the Queen City has in store for you.
