In the neighborhood, you’re just a short walk (or scooter) away from the Levine Museum of the New South, Museum of Illusions (great for a team activity!), Mint Museum, Belk Theater at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, NASCAR Hall of Fame, Discovery Place Science, and much more. You can also check out countless restaurants in the neighborhood and beyond. Some local favorites include wood-fired plates at Stoke (right inside the hotel!), fresh seafood at Fin & Fino, southern comforts at The King’s Kitchen, or you can simply follow the good smells over to the Halal Gyroman food truck.
