Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. Embassy Suites Charlotte Uptown, scheduled to open in June 2016, will be the ninth Embassy Suites in the state of North Carolina. The full service, all-suites hotel will also feature 7,000 square feet of meeting space and an on-site restaurant.

The Charlotte Uptown property is the first Embassy Suites hotel for BPR Properties, a long-time Hilton Worldwide franchisee partner. It owns and operates properties in other brands within the Hilton Worldwide portfolio, including two Hampton Inn properties in Asheboro, N.C., and Statesboro, G.A., as well as one Home2 by Hilton property in Greensboro, N.C. BPR also developed the DoubleTree by Hilton property in Greensboro, N.C. in 2007.

"We are proud of our growing portfolio of Embassy Suites properties around the country and thrilled to partner with BPR Properties to bring another top-notch Embassy Suites lodging option to the Charlotte area," said John Rogers, global head, Embassy Suites Hotels. "We look forward to delivering the high level of customer satisfaction our guests have come to expect when they stay at any of our more than 215 properties."

Embassy Suites Charlotte Uptown will reflect the brand’s Design Option III style. The innovative and flexible design features a variety of side-by-side suites, shotgun suites and one-room suites in addition to a contemporary atrium area, decreasing the amount of land needed for a new-build project and creating efficiencies for both construction and operational costs. These features also further enhance the guest experience, as there is a great sense of space and more natural light in guest rooms and public areas like the atrium, while still maintaining all of the offerings that are characteristic of Embassy Suites hotels including free cooked-to-order breakfast and Complimentary Evening Reception*.

"We are delighted to break ground on our very first Embassy Suites hotel and expand our portfolio of Hilton Worldwide brands," said Bhupen Patel, principal, BPR Properties. "With the continued growth of Charlotte as an internationally-recognized leisure and business destination, bringing the brand’s upscale, family-friendly offering to the community will be a desirable option for travelers visiting the area."

Embassy Suites Charlotte Uptown will feature all of the signature amenities standard at all Embassy Suites Hotels, including free cooked-to-order breakfast each morning, a nightly complimentary Evening Reception* and two-room suites with a separate living area, private bedroom, two flat-screen high-definition televisions and wet bar fitted with a microwave, mini-fridge and a selection of gourmet coffee and teas from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
