The Quintessential Urban Retreat: The Ballantyne, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Charlotte
There are hotels you solely book to have a place to unpack, store your belongings, sleep, and maybe squeeze in breakfast or a nightcap. Then, there’s The Ballantyne, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Charlotte.
But first: you should know The Ballantyne doesn’t take up residence in Charlotte, but in an edge city called Ballantyne. The term first appeared in American journalist Joel Garreau’s 1991 book Edge City: Life on the New Frontier, and describes an urban district with a high concentration of offices, retail, and residences adjacent to a city.
