The Duke Mansion was built in 1915 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The rooms are residential in their decor, appointed with beautiful artwork furnishings, giving you a breathtaking image of what it was like to be a member of the prestigious Duke family who made The Mansion their home. Mr. Duke?s most lasting legacies including Duke Energy, Duke University and The Duke Endowment took shape while he lived in the home. A gorgeous example of Colonial Revival architecture, at 32,000 square feet it is one of the largest private homes. Most rooms have queen or king sized beds, all have private baths, exquisite linens, luxurious robes. We say goodnight to you with a gourmet goodnight treat, and send you on your way with a chef prepared breakfast in the morning all- included. An integral part of Charlotte's most prestigious and beautiful neighborhood, and on 4 1/2 acres of beautiful grounds, The Mansion has a professional culinary staff and beautiful public rooms than can accommodate family or business celebrations of 10-300 guests. When you select The Duke Mansion, you are supporting a nonprofit where all of the proceeds are used to preserve and protect it.

What a find

We were late booking our reservations for our Charlotte trip to go and see ECU play the Gamecocks. So in efforts to find a place as close to downtown as possible, we booked the last room offered by the Duke. We had no idea what we were going into, so we were really pleasantly surprised by this south Charlotte gem. The staff had our room ready early and called us a cab as soon as we checked in. While we waited for the cab, we wondered around the property to admire its beauty, all while they were preparing for a wedding that took place while we were out that night. When we got back after 2am, we were again greeted at the door by the most friendly staff member that let us know it was OK, we didn't have to whisper even though it was in fact a residence at one time. He was funny and reminded us about breakfast the next morning. When we did crawl out of the unbelievably comfortable bed (I could still be laying there and not have a care in the world), we wondered downstairs to enjoy the end of the breakfast buffet, which we could have sworn was just prepared ten minutes earlier and not sitting out all morning. This place has completely changed my opinion about having to stay downtown at the Weston, Marriot, or Hilton when attending games with intentions of going out after. This is close enough to enjoy all of that, and far enough out to leave it all behind when you are finished. I would highly recommend this to anyone planning to stay in the Queen City, or at least try it out once. You won't be sorry and you will likely have found a home away from home close to uptown Charlotte just like we did!!!

Nightlife tip: Short drive from hotel

Selwyn's, about 2 miles, awesome Irish themed indoor/outdoor sports bar. Caters to social people ranging in age between 21 and 50... AWESOME FOOD (three huge fresh appetizers, four beers and our tab was only $20) TVs everywhere outside and in.
