Charlotte Travel Guide

Visitors to Charlotte hotels come to town to relax, have fun and get away from the pressures of daily life. Guests of such Charlotte hotels as the Embassy Suites Golf Resort & Spa have a variety of choices to make when it comes to finding things to do and, as of 2010, the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art is one of the most recent establishments to open its doors to the public.

The museum facility itself is enough to impress guests from Charlotte hotels before they even get into the exhibits. Designed by renowned Swiss architect Mario Botta, the structure is absolutely awe-inspiring. Visitors from Charlotte hotels are greeted by a soaring glass atrium, vaulted skylights and a beautiful terracotta exterior. Most impressive is the fourth floor, where guests of Charlotte hotels will find that the floor extends from the core of the building.

When visitors to Charlotte hotels go to the Bechtler Museum, they are entering a world where some of the most prominent and important works from artists of the 20th century are displayed. Guests from Charlotte hotels are treated to the works of such artists as Warhol, Ernst, Picasso, Hepworth, and many others. Bechtler Museum is especially significant, because many of the works there are privately held by the Bechtler family in Switzerland.

Visitors of Charlotte hotels have access to the museum every day of the week except for Tuesday. Guests staying in Charlotte hotels can take self-guided audio tours, or join one of the daily guided tours. Family tours are offered for those families from Charlotte hotels who want their children to experience art, as well as group and school tours. The museum also has a shop where guests of Charlotte hotels can pick up gifts, and an onsite café for snacks and lunches.
