CHARLOTTE, N.C.
The Crowne Plaza Charlotte Executive Park has completed a $10 million, year-long renovation of its 300 guest rooms and suites, as well as its 16,000 square feet of flexible meeting space.
The revamp also converted public spaces into a seamless lobby and restaurant/bar area that aims to spur socialization. Additional updates to the property’s existing health and leisure options were completed — including the fitness center, heated indoor/outdoor pool, sauna, whirlpool, volleyball court, and large sundeck and outdoor pavilion with dual fire pits.
Atlanta architectural and interior design firm DesignONE Studio reimagined the 18-story, 228,000-square-foot property in a neutral palette with a bit of sparkle, utilizing natural materials of stone and reclaimed wood, metal accents, and seating areas throughout the sweeping lobby and restaurant/bar. Multiple televisions and complimentary, high bandwidth Wi-Fi offer connectivity in the common areas.
Executive Chef Michael Cowan oversees the hotel’s revamped restaurant, Food For Thought, focusing on farm-to-table and locally sourced ingredients with a Southern twist.
The Crowne Plaza Charlotte Executive Park is owned by Marathon Asset Management of New York, which purchased the former Marriott property in November 2012.
