The Ivey’s Hotel got its name from J. B. Ivey & Company, a department store that opened a block from the current location at 231 N. Tryon St. during the early 1900s, in the midst of Charlotte’s booming cotton mill economy. In 1924, the newly renovated department, known for its clothing and home goods, opened its doors in its new location, the same building where The Ivey’s Hotel currently resides. Guests can travel back in time with a visit to the gift shop, styled after its namesake, enjoying modern amenities against a dazzling vintage interior design.

Avoid the hassle of planning your life around leaving town and enjoy a staycation in the heart of Charlotte’s center city!
