The Mecklen Hotel
A BOLD DECLARATION FOR
AN UNTOLD LOCATION
Where rebellion meets relaxation, The Mecklen Hotel rises from the storied soil of Mecklenburg County with a spirit as bold as the city it calls home. Tucked in the heart of U-City, just off the pulse of Tryon, our hotel is a stylish nod to Charlotte’s independent roots and fast-moving future.
Whether you're here for business, adventure, or a little of both, The Mecklen is your new headquarters for shaking up routine. Our vibe is unapologetically local—where the Speedway slows, the forty-niners come alive after five, and the comforts are as rebellious as they are refined.
This isn't just a stay. It's a statement. Welcome to The Mecklen. The revolution starts here.
Side EyE
Tucked inside The Mecklen Hotel, Side Eye serves up more than just clever glances—it’s a bold, flavorful bridge between University City and Charlotte’s ever-evolving culinary scene. As our signature lounge, Side Eye dishes out reimagined Carolina classics and small plates with just the right amount of Southern sass.
From shareable bites to a rotating menu that keeps locals guessing and guests coming back, Side Eye playfully elevates familiar flavors with unexpected twists. Sip your way through a robust cocktail list where every pour nods to the spirit of discovery—and where every garnish has something to say.
Equal parts neighborhood hangout and culinary hideaway, Side Eye is where the city’s social rhythm slows down just enough to savor what’s next.
