The Charlotte City Club came into being on January 10, 1947. First envisioned in 1945 by Herbert H. Baxter, the mayor of Charlotte, who envisioned a "quiet place with attractive surroundings where meals would be served and members could get together to discuss business.
Charlotte City Club is an unparalleled private haven in the heart of Uptown. Our member community engages in fellowship, culture, sports, arts and entertainment to connect and share in life's greatest moments.
To provide thoughtful, personalized and gracious hospitality for the evolving needs of its members, their families, and guests.
With unparalleled views of the city, Charlotte City Club is a respite in the heart of Center City. Created by city leaders and built upon the critical role of business in Charlotte's growth and development, the Club remains an engaged, private community driven by the following core values:
Inspired by the best that Charlotte has to offer, Charlotte City Club is centered around a welcoming, personalized experience for its Members. The ideology of a Member-centric environment is evident throughout the Club, from warm greetings upon arrival to carefully cultivated experiences offered throughout the year.
Charlotte City Club is driven by a passion for the Charlotte community, for Members, and for its Team Members. It is that passion that creates a culture of camaraderie and excellence.
While deeply rooted in its business heritage, Charlotte City Club is committed to providing programming that transcends generations by instilling an atmosphere of enjoyable serenity while meeting the modern needs of its Members.
The City Club is dedicated to cultivating diversity among its Members and Team Members reflective of the Charlotte community and beyond. That commitment is realized through acknowledgment, respect, celebration, and active inclusion in all aspects of the Club.
From banking to civil rights to auto racing, Charlotte's history is marked by the work of civic and business leaders who innovated to spur the growth and prosperity of the city. The City Club emulates the city's commitment to reinvention by empowering its Member Leaders and Team Members to challenge the status quo and exceed the expectations of its membership.
"Picture this: the leadership team is jetting off to Charlotte, and my boss turns to me and suggests hosting the gathering at the Charlotte City Club, turning a regular meeting into a feast of fun. Challenge accepted, right?
'A brief call to Kelly, the maestro of the club's arrangements, results in a meticulously planned affair within a mere 15 minutes. A la carte lunch, an abundance of beverages, and the wine room set up for a corporate symphony – all seamlessly scheduled.
'As the team arrived, their eyes widened at the unexpected opulence. The meeting unfolds effortlessly and concludes smoothly, with everyone departing with smiles on their faces and a newfound appreciation for the unique atmosphere. Remarkably, the entire event for eight people – complete with the exceptional service of the club's staff – comes at a cost of less than $500.
'The team, enamored by the experience, eagerly proposes making the Club our preferred meeting venue. Kelly's adept handling of the situation and the Club's impeccable execution have not only transformed a routine meeting into an extraordinary event, but have also left a lasting impression, proving that business can indeed be conducted with both efficacy and levity."
When I was a newcomer to Charlotte, a number of people encouraged me to connect at City Club. It was a known location, a perfect place for conversation, and staffed a team of professionals committed to flexing to meet personal and business needs. City Club was a jump-starter for friendships, and many of the people I look to today for fellowship, counsel, and insights can be mapped back to early visits to the Club.
Brunch before the Panthers game is a staple for us and our game-day buddies. The Club is a great place for watching the pre-game show in the Hornet's Nest Bar area.
We've also hosted a casual dinner for ~20 friends and family that were in town for a just-for-fun 5k. The food was great and the Wine Room provided the perfect backdrop for a fun, relaxing evening.
