BALLANTYNE RESORT HOTEL AND CLUBHOUSE

Charlotte, NC

In 1999, The Bissell Companies commissioned LS3P ASSOCIATES LTD. to master
plan and design the hotel, clubhouse, conference center, golf school and spa for
an “urban resort” envisioned for the corporate business park at their 2,000-acre
planned community, Ballantyne. The centerpiece of the resort is the 18-hole golf
course, that runs through Ballantyne Corporate Business Park.

The complex was built in an L-shaped configuration around the 18th hole of the
golf course. The first phase of the resort was the three-story clubhouse, which
houses the pro-shop, locker rooms, grill room, bar and the resort’s initial meeting
rooms and kitchen facilities. Phase Two consisted of the 216-room full service
hotel and 42,000 SF conference center. Public areas of the hotel center around the
two-story colonnaded main lobby and focus panoramic views to the 18th fairway
and overall course. The conference center is a two-level facility featuring a 6,500
SF ballroom and assorted meeting rooms organized around a main gallery within
a grand monumental stair overlooking the 18th green. Phase Three, completed
summer 2002, consists of the 18,000 SF two-level full service spa. The spa further
complements the amenities of the resort and ties directly into the hotel’s grotto
pool and fitness center.
