What to pack for a stay at Grand Bohemian Charlotte

Must-have travel documents & tech

Bring a government photo ID for check-in; Marriott listings note a minimum check-in age requirement applies to the person who holds the reservation. Keep your confirmation, loyalty number, and card handy at arrival.

The hotel provides complimentary Wi‑Fi for guests, but some listings show possible in-room internet fees on third-party sites — bring an offline copy of reservations and any work files in case you need them.

Pack chargers, a travel adapter if you need one, and a portable battery pack for long days exploring Uptown Charlotte. A slim laptop or tablet is useful if you plan to use the meeting or event spaces.

• Photo ID and reservation confirmation
• Credit/debit card used to guarantee booking
• Phone and charger, portable battery
• Laptop or tablet + chargers
• Printed maps or offline transit info

Clothing & footwear

Uptown Charlotte is walkable; pack comfortable shoes for daytime walking to museums, parks and venues. Summers are hot and humid, winters can be chilly — check seasonal forecasts before you pack.

Mico Restaurant and Búho Bar use a Smart Casual dress code. Bring one smart-casual outfit (collared shirt/blouse, neat trousers or a dress) if you plan to dine in the evening or attend rooftop events.

• Comfortable walking shoes
• Smart-casual outfit for dinner/rooftop (no hats after 6 PM as a general guideline)
• Light jacket or sweater for evenings (or cooler months)
• Weather gear in summer (light rain jacket) or winter (warm coat as needed)

Toiletries, medications & room comforts

Guest bathrooms at Grand Bohemian Charlotte feature marble vanities and walk-in showers or tubs in suites; bring your usual toiletries although standard bathroom amenities are provided. If you have specialized toiletries, pack them as in-room supplies may be limited.

Bring any prescription and over-the-counter medications you need, plus a basic first-aid kit. If you prefer a particular pillow or sleep item, note that the hotel provides standard bedding and some suites include chaise lounges or sofa beds but not guest-provided pillows.

• Prescription meds in original containers
• Basic toiletries (toothbrush, travel shampoo/conditioner if preferred)
• Small first-aid kit, bandages, pain reliever
• Sleep aids or travel pillow if you need a specific mattress/pillow feel

Wellness & fitness gear

Grand Bohemian Charlotte has a complimentary fitness center available 24 hours with cardio machines and free weights; you don’t need to pack heavy gear but bring workout clothes and shoes. There is no on-site pool, so don’t pack swimwear solely for hotel use.

If you have spa services booked at Poseidon Spa, bring any items requested by the spa (the spa requires appointments and has cancellation windows). The spa has a private outdoor terrace for select treatments.

• Workout clothes and trainers
• Yoga mat or resistance band (optional)
• Swimsuit only if you plan to use off-site pools or day trips
• Spa appointment confirmation and any medical notes needed for treatment

Dining, nightlife & venue dress-up items

Mico Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a Smart Casual dress code; breakfast is available for a surcharge rather than included with room rates. Búho Bar on the 16th floor is a rooftop tapas bar with later hours on weekends and a smart-casual policy.

If you’re attending events in the Palace Ballroom, Queen's Terrace or private dining rooms, pack one or two dressier outfits depending on the event formality. Bring any required event materials if you’re organizing business meetings — the hotel supports AV and high-speed Wi‑Fi for events.

• Smart-casual outfit for Mico and Búho Bar
• Dressier outfit for ballroom or terrace events
• Comfortable shoes for walking Uptown between venues
• Copies of meeting materials if using event spaces

Traveling with family or pets

Grand Bohemian Charlotte welcomes families; children are allowed though the adult who checks in may need to meet the minimum age requirement shown by some listings. The property does not have a kids club or pool, so plan activities outside the hotel for children.

The hotel allows dogs under its pet policy (dogs only; limits and fees apply). If you travel with a dog, bring proof of vaccinations, a leash, bedding, bowls, and any food. Service animals are always welcome at no charge.

• Child essentials (stroller, snacks, entertainment)
• Dog supplies: leash, bed, food, vaccination records
• Request rollaway bed in advance if needed (fee may apply)
• Confirm specific room type (e.g., Suite, 1 Bedroom) if you need a sofa bed or extra space
