Ballantyne Resort
In need of a romantic getaway? Maybe a weekend away with the girls or a golf extravaganza with the guys? It might surprise you to know that one of North Carolina’s finest resorts is in Charlotte. Ballantyne Resort is a member of the Luxury Collection, by Starwood Hotels and Resorts, and will deliver nothing but perfection. This resort has a long list of amenities that will make any weekend memorable. With luxurious rooms, golf, Dana Radar Golf School, tennis, spa, dining, shopping, The Lodge at Ballantyne, and the most convenient location to the Queen City, this is a place you’ll never want to leave.
When you walk into the elegant lobby to register, the pampering begins. The staff , ready to fulfill any desire, will make checking in quick and smooth. You’ll be shown to your room, which will hopefully overlook the beautiful golf course this hotel is known for. If you’ve booked one of the packages you might find beautiful flowers and champagne waiting for you. The rooms are serenely decorated in muted tones of beige and gold. There will be some serious pampering with luxurious cotton linens, foam or feather pillows, all adorning the palatial feather -top mattress. All rooms have a Bose Wave Radio, in room movies and games, Time Warner Cable, 2 telephones, dual closets, a safe, a snack and refreshment area, 24 hour in room dining, turn down service and 2 signature Ballantyne robes, which will quickly become your new uniform. You’ll be tempted to never leave your room. Don’t make that mistake!
The Spa at Ballantyne Resort is one of the most lavish spas around, offering both men and women spa services. Guests can choose from a selection of massages, facials, wraps, exfoliations, nail and makeup, a hair salon, and relaxing baths. They offer a romantic couples massage that I can personally recommend as a way to spend some quiet reacquainting time with your significant other. It would be easy to get lost for days being wrapped, exfoliated and rubbed. Saunas and steams will add to the relaxation along with the herbal tea and snacks in the locker room. When you finish the pampering and your laying in a relaxed puddle on the floor of your room, it may be time for a quiet dinner.
If you choose to stay in and order room service the food at Ballantyne is first rate. After all the pampering it may seem impossible to get dressed and go out, but if you do, a special treat will greet you at the Gallery Restaurant. Aged steak is the specialty here and is always accompanied by fresh items from the regional farmer’s markets. This is a treat not to miss. Don’t forget to order a fabulous bottle of wine and a totally sinful dessert; after all you are pampering yourself.
In need of some physical activity after a day of slothful indulging? Swim laps in the heated indoor pool, and then hit the Cybex equipment in the fitness center. Take a long run on the treadmill. Be sure you reserve one of the three tennis courts that are available, or take a lesson with the pro. Don’t forget to schedule a lesson at the Dana Radar Golf School. Dana was named “one of America’s 50 Greatest Teachers”, by Golf Digest. Be sure you book a tee time to show off all you’ve learned from her lesson. After all this activity, it may be time again for a soothing massage, and unwind before you get ready for a night out at one of the areas fine dining experiences.
Ballantyne Resort is an experience you will want to repeat over and over. So grab the love of your life or maybe a group of your best friends and come to Charlotte, North Carolina and stay at the areas finest resort and pamper, pamper, and pamper! It will be a weekend to remember.
