When traveling for business recently I was given the occasion to stay at the Ballantyne Golf Resort just covering of Charlotte, North Carolina. It took a short twenty-minute drive to get from the airport to the front desk, yet it seemed we had travelled light years away from the hustle of a major communication center. Upon arriving at the Ballantyne I was greeted by name and personally escorted to my suite. I had unquestionably arrived about an hour early and had incredible to wait in the resort bar, but was pleasantly surprised to find my accommodations available.
My suite came qualified with a Bose Mp3 player and radio, as well as a 37" Hdtv and Dcd player. Having stayed at many hotels I grow weary of being "nickel and dimed" with extra expenses to rent a Dvd player or Vcr. It was a great bonus for this to be included in the price. My room also included two Ballantyne robes, a safe that will hold a laptop and accepted desk working area. The view overlooked the golf course. I am told that any suites comprise a underground balcony overlooking the procedure or other resort amenities.
Recently the Ballantyne opened their outdoor pool area which includes dining and drink services as well as plenty of room to lounge comfortably. I worked at the pool for any days during my stay, and while I sometimes had a small problem connecting to the wireless internet, the climate was perfect for causal tasks such as replying to emails. The outdoor pool also is home to a casual mixer event each Thursday evening during the summer.
Several guests I met during my stay had traveled to the Ballantyne naturally to play golf on the 18-hole resort course. Agreeing to them, and hotel staff, the procedure is the Charlotte area's best place to play. And while locals may be a bit biased, I did consideration that Golf digest magazine gave the procedure 4.5 out of five stars and Conde Nast traveler lists it as one of the top 100 golf courses in the world. In the summer of 2009 the procedure fulfilled, for two months to setup higher ability greens for improved and consistent play year-round.
Overall my stay at the Ballantyne Resort & Hotel was an enjoyable experience. The on-site dining options were adequate, and major entertainment venues are a short drive away. Since my wife was unable to join me on this trip, I plan on development another investment to the Ballantyne for relaxation. I'm sure the golf course, spa and other amenities are even nicer if you don't have to be thinking about work part of the time.
