HAMPTON INN & SUITES SOUTH PARK AT PHILLIPS PLACE, Charlotte

The hotel sits within Phillips Place, a mixed-use development with boutiques, cafés, and dining options like P.F. Chang's, RH Rooftop Restaurant, and Whole Foods Market within a 5-minute walk. SouthPark Mall is a 12-minute stroll away, and downtown Charlotte is a 10-minute drive. Charlotte Douglas International Airport is 13 km (20 minutes by car). The area is safe and well-lit, with easy access to I-77 and I-485. While most errands are walkable, a car is helpful for visiting attractions like Freedom Park or the Mint Museum, both 7 km away.

All rooms include air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable, tea and coffee making facilities, a work desk, and a private bathroom with bath and shower. Select suites feature a whirlpool tub in a private alcove, a pull-out sofa bed, and a separate bedroom. Some rooms also have a TV integrated into the bathroom mirror. While the property is older, it has been well-maintained; however, some carpets and furnishings show wear. For the quietest experience, request a room away from the elevator and on a higher floor. No rooms have balconies. Cots are available upon request.

Breakfast is served from 6:30 to 10:00 and includes scrambled eggs, waffles, pastries, fresh fruit, and yogurt. The selection is consistent with Hampton Inn standards, with many noting it as above average for the chain. For lunch or dinner, the surrounding Phillips Place and SouthPark area offer dozens of restaurants within a 5- to 10-minute walk, including P.F. Chang's, The Palm, Cafe Monte, and Wolfgang Puck Kitchen + Bar. A Whole Foods Market is also a short walk away for groceries and prepared meals. Vending machines and a minimarket on site provide snacks and drinks 24/7.

The outdoor pool is surrounded by sun loungers and a terrace, open from spring through early autumn (typically until October 31). The fitness centre is equipped with cardio machines and free weights. The former hot tub and spa bath have been permanently removed, so guests seeking a soaking experience should consider the whirlpool tubs available in select suites. There is no spa or wellness centre on site. For outdoor leisure, a picnic area with tables and a terrace are available.

Wi-Fi is complimentary in all areas.
