Sheraton Charlotte Hotel Unveils $12 Million Renovation, Elevating the Guest Experience with Modern Design and Thoughtful Functionality

CHARLOTTE, NC – December 18, 2025.   The Sheraton Charlotte Hotel, part of Marriott International’s portfolio, proudly announces the completion of a transformative $12 million renovation encompassing all 305 guest rooms and suites. The ten-month enhancement project reimagines the hotel’s accommodations with a fresh, light-filled design, modern technology, and thoughtful amenities tailored to today’s business and leisure travelers.

Situated in the heart of Uptown Charlotte, near the Pearl District and IRCAD, the Sheraton Charlotte Hotel is part of a vibrant dual-branded complex with Le Méridien Charlotte, offering guests two distinct hospitality experiences within one destination. The property is professionally managed by StepStone Hospitality, a nationally recognized hotel management company known for operational excellence and driving commercial performance.  

“The renovation of the Sheraton Charlotte marks an exciting new chapter for our hotel and for the Queen City. We set out to elevate every touchpoint of the guest experience, and we’re proud to introduce a refreshed, modern environment that reflects both the energy of Uptown Charlotte and the warmth of our community.”   John Panko, General Manager.    “We’re grateful for the incredible collaboration between our ownership, brand, our design partners at Goodman Charlton LLC, and project team. The result is a hotel that truly feels like an extension of Charlotte—vibrant, inviting, and ready to welcome guests for years to come.”

The renovation ushers in a new era of elevated comfort and style. Each guestroom now features a bright, contemporary palette that complements the natural light streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, creating an inviting and sophisticated atmosphere.

Guests will enjoy tech-forward conveniences such as enhanced connectivity, multiple device-charging options, and expanded workspaces designed for today’s corporate traveler. For those seeking an elevated stay, the hotel’s premium suites feature separate living and dining areas, ideal for VIP guests or extended visits.

“Our goal was to create spaces that feel both inspiring and functional,” said Mariah Russell, Area Director of Sales and Marketing and Project Management of the Sheraton Charlotte Hotel. “These renovations bring new energy to our guest rooms, combining comfort, technology, and a sense of place that reflects the vibrant spirit of Charlotte.”

The redesigned guest experience aligns with Sheraton’s global brand transformation, which redefines the iconic brand’s legacy through modern design, community connection, and a renewed sense of belonging.

Guests continue to enjoy access to the Sheraton Club Lounge, state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor and outdoor swimming pool, as well as a variety of on-site dining experiences including Social Bar & Kitchen, Craft City Pub, City Lights Rooftop, Tannin & Toast Coffee and Wine Bar.  The hotel is just steps from Charlotte’s premier attractions, sports venues, and corporate offices.
