CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA – Construction has begun on the 195-suite SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Uptown Charlotte. Located at 311 East 5th Street, the SpringHill Suites Charlotte/Uptown will operate as a Marriott franchise, owned and managed by SREE Hotels of Charlotte, North Carolina.

The hotel is located in immediate proximity to Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Duke Energy, and many more business and social activities. It’s location and design is a perfect blend of work and play.

SREE collaborated with CR architecture + design and Marriott to design a building that reflects the community’s unique character. With striking architecture front and center, the design has been lauded “unlike anything we have seen” by the Charlotte Agenda’s Jason Thomas. Silver panels speak to the nearby arena while a high gloss mimics the neighboring Lynx Train.
“The hotel site is in a busy urban location, and we are excited to be part of the team bringing it to the active and vibrant center city of Charlotte,” said Pat Rodgers, president and CEO of construction manager Rodgers Builders, Inc.
Stepping inside, clean and simple lines create an inviting atmosphere, while wood accents and bold pops of color evoke the fun and energy of the entertainment district. A full-service bar speaks to the hotel’s urban location, with the idea of transportation used to drive the design. Chandeliers with swooping bike chains and graphics reminiscent of an old train station flip board offer familiar details presented in a new, modern way.
