A visit to The Ivey’s Hotel in Uptown provides an escape from the monotony of everyday life by offering an elevated experience immersed in a Parisian-style elegance. The boutique hotel opened at 127 N. Tryon St. in the summer of 2017, boasting 47 rooms, a state-of-the-art fitness center and direct access to high-end food and drink from Sophia’s Lounge and 5Church Charlotte.

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!
