더 리츠칼튼 샬럿

The Punch Room was a great find. I was in Charlotte for a night and ended up here after the Jazz venue I was initially looking for was closed. The service was excellent, the food, drinks, decor, city views and atmosphere was top notch. Highly recommend.

Once again, the Ritz sets the bar when it comes to exquisite experiences. Our server was simply extraordinary in every way. It was Vicki's 70th and we got stuck in Charlotte, not making it to NYC for her celebration (flight cancelation). She totally made up for it and created an experience for us that was unforgettable. Champagne toast, excellent wine suggestions and fabulous food, thanks to the incredible chefs in the kitchen; perfectly cooked/seasoned filet for Vicki, spectacular sea bass preparation for me. Thank you to everyone at the Ritz for making our evening special after we were unable to complete our trip the way we had planned. Sincerely appreciated. PS - Best bread in the universe!!

Ya there are reasons people stay here and I know what they are ... none of them come close to being worth spending time you'll never get back at this pretentious stuffy anti-social building. If you're into networking it's the opposite. Everything here is a big deal...I do mean everything. The staff don't know how to act & behave like everything they do is a magic trick or requires some esoteric insight. Some of the dumbest people I've ever seen. I've been to many other ritz carlton's and haven't seen one like this. If someone covered my stay here I would out-of-pocket go somewhere else, it's that bad. If you must go check it out because of the location and it being the only 5 star rated hotel in the city ...If you must get it out of your system go only one night and get the hell out . It's sad there are places like this ...There didn't used to be.

It’s not like any Ritz I have stayed before. Staff nice but it’s more like an upscale Marriot not RC. Had to wait in lobby 7 hours for a room, which while waiting no accommodations. Room was ok not really very pretty just felt more Marriot. Dining is not all that. Service doesn’t have the same language, no turn down service offered, room was pitch black upon arrival had to call front desk to figure out how to turn on lamps

Staff were very friendly and professional but significantly under supported in FTEs and supplies/materials/food. The facility is in need of major renovation due to outdated, uncomfortable, and dirty furniture in the lounging areas and floors. The Punch, a well-appointed speakeasy on the 15th floor, was a nice retreat from the dilapidated rooms and main lobbies...definitely worth a visit. I wouldn't recommend nor will I be staying again.

Love visiting the spa at the Ritz the employees are very nice. I really liked my massage though the room was pretty cold. And unfortunately I was dissatisfied with my facial. She was very nice but I felt as though my skin looked worse afterwards and it wasn’t anything special, I suggest asking if extractions are wanted beforehand.

The team at the Charlotte location went ABOVE and beyond for us. We missed our connecting flight to Jamaica and ended up stuck for a full day in Charlotte. Their team took amazing care of us and even gifted us some water bottles to take with us on our trip! They felt our stress and did everything to alleviate it. Truly a Ritz experience through and through

My wife and I have a tradition of doing “dry January,” where we abstain from alcohol and generally make an extra effort to look after our health in the month following the merriment of the holidays. We typically break that fast with a long weekend “staycation” at a hotel somewhere near Charlotte. This year, we decided to splurge and stay at the Ritz-Carlton, taking in a day at the spa as well. The cost is exorbitant by comparison to other hotels, but we thought it would be worth it. Think again. The week leading in to the trip, we were contacted by someone on the hotel staff to reconfirm our 4pm check in. I shared that we would prefer that our double queen room - which we had already booked - be situated on a high floor away from Trade street. We had previously stayed at the Aloft Hotel at the Epicenter and knew the noise in that area is a problem. Even with most of restaurants at the Epicenter closed, it is/was incredibly loud. Imagine our surprise when we tried to check in at 4pm and were told our room was not ready. It appeared many families were also waiting for a room, and they were all double queen bed rooms. At 4:40pm, a chartered bus pulls up and the players from the visiting NBA team and staff come in to the hotel. It became clear that the hotel was holding the double queen rooms until they figured out how many the team would be using. A manager suggested we be “upgraded” to a king suite “with a pull-out couch.” And stupidly, we took it. We were tired and just wanted to get in a room ahead of our dinner reservations. Unfortunately this room was on the third floor facing Trade Street - exactly where we didn’t want to be - and appeared to be an old room badly in need of renovation. It smelled musty and the king bed was really lumpy. And don’t get me started on the pull out couch - laughably uncomfortable. I snore and spread out in the night, and the double queen has been how my wife and I have chosen to travel. Instead, we spent two restless nights waking each other up. We got very little sleep in this luxury hotel. There were other things: a housekeeper barged in to our room for turndown service after we had already gone to bed, freaking us out - they didn’t acknowledge it the next day. The front desk was understaffed the entire weekend. The entire hotel is in need of a renovation - it feels old and weathered. The spa itself was nice, and our experience there was better. We splurged on massages, and my wife ended up having a really bad one. But otherwise nice. I swear, we are pretty go-with-the-flow people. Maybe it was paying ~$900/night, I thought we’d have a much more elevated experience. Needless to say, we won’t be back. Ever.

What you would expect from a Ritz - friendly staff, comfortable mattress, clean and spacious rooms. Unfortunately during our stay the spa and gym were under renovation. The Punch Room, which is their upstairs "speakeasy" was open and pleasant. However, the "snack" menu was grossly underwhelming and grossly overpriced. $30 for a charcuterie board that had less food than a lunchable and tasted just as bad. . All of that pales in comparison to what really makes this place unsuitable for ALL. As others have mentioned in these reviews we stayed on the 7th floor during a Friday night and the amount of street noise that permeated into our room made us feel that we were sleeping on a NASCAR racetrack. Multiple and constant instances of engine revving throughout the night that did not end until 3:30am kept us up the entire night. Imagine paying upwards of $600/night for the privilege of not being able to sleep. Avoid.
