  • Truist Field

    Now Named: Truist Field is a baseball stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States.[6] The Uptown-area stadium hosts the Charlotte Knights, a Triple-A Minor League Baseball team in the International League. It is also the third sports building to be built in Uptown, after Bank of America Stadium (home of the NFL's Carolina Panthers and MLS's Charlotte FC) and Spectrum Center (home of the NBA's Charlotte Hornets).

  • Bechtler Museum of Modern Art

    The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art is a fresh perspective of art and culture into the city's nerves. Located in the heart of uptown Charlotte, the Bechtler is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.

Today, The Dunhill Hotel stands distinct on the Charlotte skyline, an amalgam of American, British, and Italian influences, something those with an eye for period detail can detect. Opened in 1929 as the Mayfair Manor apartment hotel, with half of its original 100 rooms permanent residences, today's Dunhill Hotel is a thoughtful evolution.
