The MRK Hotel Collection announces the grand opening of The Ivey's Hotel in Uptown, Charlotte. The newly rebranded MRK Hotel Collection is a group of luxury, boutique hotels, each featuring their own unique character and design, while keeping today's world traveler at the forefront of its offerings. The Ivey's Hotel features 42 luxury guestrooms, a cocktail lounge, private meeting and event space and a Library Lounge exclusive to guests of the hotel.

The Ivey's Hotel was imagined and then curated by MRK Investments. Originally a department store that debuted in the early 1900s by J.B. Ivey, MRK Investments has committed to this multi-million-dollar project over the past two years to revitalize the historic space at 127 North Tryon Street. MRK recognized the need for the ultimate boutique experience that the Uptown Charlotte market was truly missing.

Positioned across the street from the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center and Bank of America Headquarters, The Ivey's Hotel is just steps from all the city's top destinations and restaurants. The hotel encompasses roughly 38,000 square feet of the historic Ivey's building. All guest rooms are located on the second floor with the remaining space dedicated to residences and retail.

The Ivey's stylishly appointed rooms feature 400-year-old reclaimed French oak floors, exposed brick, custom-designed lighting fixtures and bespoke furnishings by Nick Alain, Frette Italian bedding, alongside a curated art collection on view throughout the hotel. Featuring complimentary Wi-Fi, Sony 4K Televisions, Bose Sound systems, iHome docking stations and innovative Lutron Lighting Technology, the hotel also kept the savvy business traveler in mind when designing the hotel. All rooms are exquisitely decorated with an eclectic mix of antiques and modern European-inspired details. No two guest rooms are alike, so all guests are stimulated anew each time they stay. The goal was to create an experience that all guests would remember and tell their story about the Ivey's.
