The Spotlight on Sonesta Select Charlotte University Research Park

Smart Stay Near Charlotte’s Top Concert Spots


Modern, comfortable, and budget-friendly, Sonesta Select Charlotte University Research Park offers a relaxed vibe just northeast of downtown Charlotte. With a short drive to major venues and walkable shopping and dining at Shoppes at University Place, this hotel is a great choice for music fans looking to stay close to the action without sacrificing comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just 3.9 miles from PNC Music Pavilion and an easy ride to Charlotte Motor Speedway, this hotel keeps you close to the music without the late-night downtown noise. Guests appreciate the 24-hour front desk for late arrivals and the quiet atmosphere for post-show wind-downs. With free Wi-Fi, a fitness center, and a shared lounge, it offers both convenience and comfort. Parking is available onsite, and Uber/Lyft pickups are fast and frequent in the area.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a show together
  • Solo travelers catching a big-name artist
  • Couples making a concert weekend getaway
  • Fans needing a quiet recovery space after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to compromise on comfort

Food and Drink Options

There’s an onsite restaurant for quick bites, and with Shoppes at University Place a short walk away, you’ll find plenty of late-night eats. While room service isn’t 24/7, there are vending machines and local delivery apps that serve the area late. Breakfast is available on-site, perfect for those slow mornings after a big night out.

Nightlife Options

While not a party hotel itself, Sonesta Select is close to casual bars and restaurants around the University Research Park area. It’s easy to catch a ride to Uptown Charlotte or NoDa for a more energetic nightlife scene. The shared lounge and sun terrace also offer a relaxed space to chill with friends after a concert.

What People Say

Guests praise the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and the hotel’s overall value. Many reviewers mention the quiet surroundings and how easy it was to get to and from concerts. The pool and fitness center are also appreciated perks for those staying more than a night.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests noted that the decor is a bit basic and the in-room amenities could use an update. While there’s no on-site bar, nearby options make up for it. Breakfast isn’t complimentary, so plan ahead if that’s important to you.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a show at PNC Music Pavilion or Charlotte Motor Speedway and want a quiet, comfy, and affordable hotel nearby, Sonesta Select Charlotte University Research Park hits the right notes.

Passable

Liked: The location was perfect. My check in and check out host were very polite. The first host I approached at check out ignored me and continued to text on her phone. So the next lady was very pleasant and checked me out
Disliked: The AC did not work in the halls of the hotel. The halls and elevators smelled like marijuana and cigarettes.
