Historic, European-style hotel in Uptown Charlotte since 1929

The genteel look and feel of The Dunhill Hotel has welcomed Uptown Charlotte guests for 80 years. Its 10 stories are a rare historic landmark from that period, renowned for elegant accommodations. Formal but not stuffy, the hotel teems with 18-century European furnishings and hand-sewn draperies. Cozy rooms charm with four-poster beds. Periodic restorations have kept the Dunhill a favorite for nice, quiet rooms within walking distance to downtown Charlotte attractions. Look for its flourish of neo-classical architecture amid the city skyline.

Highlights

  • Uptown boutique hotel in the heart of the arts and culture district
  • Elegant rooms, some with four-poster beds
  • Convenient to shops, businesses and nightlife, plus light rail line and free trolley
  • On-site restaurant and lounge provides 24-hour room service
  • Transportation in a London Taxi available by appointment within a two-mile radius

Location
In the heart of the arts and cultural district, Discovery Place science museum, the Mint Museum, Spirit Square Center for the Arts and Blumenthal Performing Arts Center are all within walking distance of The Dunhill Hotel. Charlotte banking and financial headquarters are conveniently close for those on business. Also nearby are the Time Warner Cable Arena, Bank of America Stadium, NASCAR Hall of Fame and Charlotte Convention Center. 
Rooms
Intimate rooms reflect the bygone era of the 18th century with a writing desk, antique and classic accents and an armoire. Modern conveniences, discreetly infused into the traditional atmosphere, include flat-screen televisions with satellite channels, CD players or iPod docking stations, voicemail, free Wi-FI, refrigerators stocked with complimentary beverages, and marble bathrooms with lavish bath amenities and bathrobes. Drift off on a new pillow-top mattress with hypo-allergenic bedding after turndown service leaves signature chocolates. Wedding-night couples who reserve the lavish Penthouse Suite love photos on the balcony.
Features

Designed by architect Louis Asbury- Sr., The Dunhill Hotel opened in 1929 as the fashionable Mayfair Manor apartment hotel. With permanent wealthy tenants renting half of the original rooms, the hotel thrived even during the Great Depression. Designated a Historic Hotel of America by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this authentic and understated retreat is a class act. It's also Charlotte's only member of Historic Hotels of America. Enjoy valet parking (fees apply), fresh coffee in the lobby and the oft-recognized adjacent Harvest Moon Grille open all day. No wonder Paul McCartney, Morgan Fairchild, Sinbad, and Tony Bennett have booked the Penthouse Suite.

Historic hotel with terrific customer service

Great historic hotel in the heart of uptown Charlotte. The room was a little small without a bureau but it was adequate. The staff was very accomodating and pleasant from the housekeeping staff on up. There was no onsite gym or pool facility, so it made taking a break from working out for a few days justifiable. Every type and price point of restaurant is within a 5 minute walk from the front door; everything from a Subway sandwich shop to the elegant Capital Grille. Also, the hotel's own dining venue is quite good. Great southern hospitality.

Corporate Location, Indpendent Attitude

Located in the center of Uptown Charlotte this boutique hotel has free internet, free bottled water in the fridge, and a free spirit not to be found with the big chains.

I love the Dunhill Hotel!

This was my fifth stay at the Historic Dunhill Hotel. Even though the rooms are not huge, they are well appointed and laid out nicely. They hotel provides you complimentary bottled water and sodas in the in-room refrigerator, free in-room Keurig coffee, and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies in the evenings at the lobby coffee service table near the front desk. I have yet to encounter one single member of the staff that is not accommodating, polite, and engaging. The only problem I have in staying at the Dunhill is that it has spoiled me for staying anywhere else when I travel. I highly recommend a stay while in Charlotte!

Breakfasts are incredible at the farm-to-table "Harvest Moon" restaurant located in the lobby (and often, vouchers for breakfast are included in the booking). If you order nothing else, YOU MUST HAVE THEIR LOCALLY RAISED AND SMOKED BACON!!! HEAVENLY!!!

Solid, reliable and good service

This is a modest size hotel and as a result the service and amenities are quite good. One can get attention on check in and check out required for special requests and needs. Room was nothing fancy, but the free minibar sodas and waters helped lend an atmosphere of commodiousness. The lobby bar was a welcome place to hang out for a drink and the selection of beverages was very good. Restaurants abound and there is good access to both a grocery store and a drug store. All in all a very pleasant place that will receive more of my business in the future.

Business with pleasure

Beginning with the greeting from Eric (bellman) to Matt at the front desk, the staff set the expectations of what became an excellent experience. The hotel is well located within walking distance of many restaurants as well as the performing arts centre.

It was comfortable, convenient and luxurious. It was also convenient to four star restaurants where we could walk just before the theater.

uptown downtown

I thought the hotel was quaint and in a very good location. You could easily walk to many restaurants and things to do within the city. I was not pleased with the quality of the linens on the bed, and found the overall quality of the accommodations less than four star.

Girls night!

A friend and I decided to take a short trip to Charlotte for shopping, dinner, and an overnight stay. We found this hotel online and the location was very convenient to downtown and the restaurant we chose. The staff of the hotel was very friendly and accommodating. My only complaint is that there was a dirty towel left on the rack, but that's probably due to their "green" policy of washing linens.

In the heart of down town Charlotte, this historical hotel offered a clean room and comfortable bed. The hotel location was perfect and convenient to dining and night life. Our stay was enjoyable, cozy and relaxing. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
