Spend the Weekend in Belmont

Need to get away with the girls for some fun and relaxation? Come to Belmont! Not only is Belmont cozy and quiet, perfect for downtime with your girlfriends, but it has fabulous food, fun shopping and plenty of ways to pamper yourself.

Here’s how you can spend your girlfriend getaway with us:

On Your Way In

Belmont has several options for places to stay, including Airbnb locations. But if you’re seeking simple elegance, then try the Hampton Inn by Hilton Charlotte/Belmont @ Montcross or Home2 Suites by Hilton Belmont. Want a quick bite once you arrive? Give the Glenway Premium Pub a shot. It’s excellent comfort food and they have a deck that’s perfect for relaxing with sweet tea or a glass of wine. Try their grilled salmon salad, or if you’re feeling indulgent, the Belmont burger with pimento cheese and bacon.

Morning

Wake up bright and early for a shopping adventure at Catawba River Antique Mall. Here you’ll find a variety of treasures from multiple vendors under one Belmont roof! Additional antique shopping is also available in historic downtown Belmont at Piccolo Antique Mall. Then walk a couple of doors down to Magnolia and Vine, a wonderful shop for special treasures.

Afterward, grab a quick caffeine jolt from The Everyday Market then head down Main Street to the William Henry Salon and Spa for a spa treatment or manicure. Then stop into Gigi’s Boutique for a little designer consignment shopping – see what fashion gold you can dig up downtown!

Want a treat before starting the afternoon? The Cotton Candy Factory is sweet on the eyes and the lips. Spin your own cotton candy for extra fun with the friends. And nearby Belmont’s Specialty Foods has additional southern finds for snacking and bringing home to the entire family – as well as City of Belmont memorabilia to remember your weekend.

Afternoon

Set aside time to explore the beautiful, world-renowned Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. The Garden’s 300+ acres is an amazing display and includes fountains and a conservatory dedicated to the display of tropical plants. The Garden Store is also worth a visit: It has a large selection of artwork, crafts and jewelry by local artists.

Still in the mood to shop? Discover Belletique in historic downtown. Also, the nearby Charlotte Premium Outlets, only 10 miles from downtown Belmont, boasts more than 100 outlet stores, including designer labels and upscale fashion brands. Ready your wallet – and extra suitcase space – for this shopping experience.

If you’re looking for a fun activity, add AR Workshop to your Belmont agenda. Downtown’s AR Workshop also allows you to flex your creativity through a variety of crafts while enjoying a bottle of wine with your girlfriends.

Evening

Make sure you have dinner and dessert at Old Stone Steakhouse, which is a wonderful place for a girls’ night out. Try the bacon-wrapped scallops appetizer and the twin grilled lobster tails for dinner. Wrap up the meal with chocolate crème brulee and an espresso martini.

Before You Leave

Reserve a few hours for Sunday brunch before you bid adieu to Belmont. At Nellie’s Southern Kitchen, southern brunch classics will delight the palette and leave a lasting impression.
