Rates range from approximately $160 to $280 per night. The Hilton Honors loyalty program applies with standard full-service benefit tiers.

A fitness center and business center with meeting rooms serve conference travelers. On-site restaurant and bar service is available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The hotel is within three blocks of Spectrum Center, home of the Charlotte Hornets NBA team and a major concert venue. The Epicentre entertainment complex is immediately adjacent.
