A New Chapter in a

Storied Building

This corner of Uptown was once part of the J.B. Ivey & Company department store, a place where Charlotteans came to discover something special. Today, the historic building holds 47 individually curated rooms and suites, and a hotel that makes room for new stories.

Built in 1924, the building gives The Ivey’s a sense of place that is felt from the moment you arrive. Its department-store past belongs to Charlotte’s story. Its life as a hotel invites you to become part of what happens next: a weekend away, a long-awaited reunion, or a first introduction to the city.

Reclaimed oak underfoot. Custom millwork that gives a room its shape. Art, layered textiles and individual furnishings that invite a closer look. The details at The Ivey’s give each room its own point of view, while the character of the building connects them. You may notice a particular texture, a piece of art or the way the light falls across a familiar material. Those small discoveries are part of the pleasure of staying somewhere with its own character.

The care behind your stay comes from people. The colleague who helps you find the right room. The housekeeping team prepares the details before you arrive. The people welcoming you to Sophia’s or helping a celebration take shape. Their knowledge of the hotel and city brings the experience together.
