Nestled in the central southern part of North Carolina, Charlotte is a rapidly expanding center of commerce that also caters for tourists with its evolving wide range of tourist attractions, sports events and cheap hotels.
Many Charlotte hotels are located either uptown or near the university. Also, there are many hotels located near the city's bustling international airport. Regardless of where you stay, getting around Charlotte is easy.
Even though Charlotte serves primarily as an important center of commerce, there is plenty to do here once tourists step outside their Charlotte hotels. The NASCAR Hall of Fame is based near the Convention Center, and other important places such as the Mint Museum of Art and Discovery Place are also within the locality.
Sports are the main attraction in Charlotte and hotels offer packages and transport to and from the NASCAR track in nearby Concord. Also, Charlotte is home to both an NFL and NBA team that can be seen week in, week out in season. If sports aren't your thing, Charlotte is home to multiple drive-in cinemas that offer a rare chance to sample a nearly lost aspect of American culture.
Hotels in Charlotte are always busy due to the fact that the city has an eventful sports calendar. In terms of climate, Charlotte is at its hottest from July to August and cools down from October onward.
