Most city center hotels are a short walk to the Carolina Panther's Ericsson Stadium. Hotels at Independence are only a few minutes drive from football games. Many Hornets fans prefer hotels in the Woodlawn area for rapid access to the game and a variety of restaurant choices. Woodlawn intersects with South Boulevard for nightlife lovers. If you are in Charlotte with your kids and interested in Carowinds, a Paramount theme park, you'll find a range of hotels bordering the facility.
Many hotels offer special discounts on Carowinds tickets and have other family-friendly offers.
