Drury Inn & Suites Charlotte Northlake

Comfort and Convenience Just North of Charlotte

Modern, reliable, and refreshingly friendly, Drury Inn & Suites Charlotte Northlake delivers the kind of comfort concert-goers crave. Located just off I-77 and right across from Northlake Mall, this smoke-free hotel offers easy access to Charlotte’s music venues while providing a quieter retreat outside of the bustle of downtown.

With a heated indoor/outdoor pool, hot tub, and a complimentary hot breakfast, this hotel is all about value and ease of stay. Rooms come equipped with flat-screen TVs, microwaves, and mini-fridges—perfect for late-night leftovers or pre-show snacks.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location hits just the right note: you're about a 15–20 minute drive from major Charlotte venues like Bank of America Stadium and PNC Music Pavilion, without being right in the center of the action. This means quieter nights for post-concert recovery. Plus, there's free parking—a win if you're driving in for the show. The hotel’s evening reception with free food and drinks is also perfect for fueling up before heading out. Late check-in (after 3 PM) and a generous 11 AM checkout give you some wiggle room for slow mornings after a big night.
