For the seventh in veteran hotelier (and Savannah native) Richard C. Kessler’s portfolio of Grand Bohemian boutique hotels, no detail went overlooked.
More escapist experience than lodging option, the 245-room Charlotte, North Carolina, property took shape with architectural contributions by Clarkesville, Georgia-based Lew Oliver, Savannah’s Christian Sottile and Gensler’s Atlanta office, complete with the 16,000-square-foot Bohemian Garden fronting Trade Street.
It proffers unmitigated luxury from the ground-floor eatery, Mico, to the Poseidon Spa, meditation terrace and rooftop bar, Buho, on the 16th. Bold jewel tones, gold leaf, showstopping marbles and extravagant crystal fixtures team with custom furnishings and art by international artists—including Atlanta-based talent Niki Zarrabi.
