The biggest shopping season of the year is upon us. If you are looking to combine shopping with a great place to rest your head and bags, then look no further. The Park Hotel in Charlotte is a shopper’s dream hotel because it is located in the middle of SouthPark, Charlotte’s most exclusive shopping area. This luxury shopping and entertainment district features upscale stores such as Nordstrom, Kate Spade, Louis Vuitton, St. John, Coach, Burberry, Tiffany & Co., L’Occitane, Kenneth Cole, Bob Ellis, Dean & Deluca, Tumi, and Harold’s.
Before you began your shopping spree, make sure your refuel your food tank by dining at Smokey’s Grill, the hotel’s full-service restaurant. Try the peppercorn and maple seasoned salmon, which will provide you with enough protein for hours of shopping pleasure. Nearby La Bibliothéque is another dining option. Enjoy being served at this Four-Diamond restaurant, while being surrounded by a collection of books (hence the name of the establishment).
If you do not get in all of your cardiovascular exercise by running from store to store, then once you return to the AAA Four-Diamond and Mobil Four-Star hotel you can work out at its Nautilus-equipped health club. The club’s heated swimming pool, steam room, and Jacuzzi will help you to relax your tired muscles, which will be overworked from carrying too many shopping bags.
