 South Park

The South Park area takes its name from the shopping centre, which was built here in the 70s, and is the biggest in the whole of North Carolina. With that in mind, staying in South Park offers excellent shopping opportunities, as well as a variety of gastronomical treasures to explore.

Here you will find some of the best luxury shops and boutiques, a wide array of top quality restaurants, and a golf club with an excellent reputation. The area is located 20km from the airport and approximately half an hour by car from Uptown, but it´s the best place to stay if you want to play a round of golf or enjoy a luxury weekend away.
