Le Méridien Charlotte
Contemporary rooms with a hip rooftop bar
About this hotel
This hotel sits a minute from the corner of McDowell and 3rd Street, close enough to Discovery Place Science for a daytime family visit before an evening kickoff, and its hip rooftop bar gives fans somewhere to gather before heading toward the stadium corridor or wind down afterward. Two pools and a gym add to the appeal for a longer stay, and the contemporary quarters and dining set it apart from more purely functional matchday hotels nearby. Pet-friendly rooms mean guests don't need to leave a dog behind for the weekend. Little Village Grill, six minutes away, offers a further dining option. A taxi to Charlotte Douglas International Airport takes about seventeen minutes.

Our take
This suits fans who want a rooftop bar and contemporary dining as part of the stay itself, particularly for an evening Charlotte FC fixture where the longer wait before kickoff rewards a hotel built for lingering. Pet owners and families combining a Discovery Place Science visit benefit too, though supporters wanting the shortest walk to the gates should compare it against the NASCAR Hall of Fame cluster.
- Arrive at the rooftop bar at least an hour before an evening kickoff, since it fills gradually through the afternoon.
- Visit Discovery Place Science by taxi if you're traveling with family before a night fixture.
- Book pet-friendly rooms early, since they're limited even at hotels that allow them on the same floor.

Why guests love itThe rooftop bar became our pre-match ritual before a Charlotte FC night fixture, watching the city fill up before heading down toward McDowell Street. Discovery Place Science gave the kids something to do earlier in the day, and having the dog welcome meant not boarding him for the trip. A stylish, comfortable base rather than a strictly functional one, and worth the slightly higher rate for the rooftop view alone.
