Welcome to the Grand Bohemian Charlotte: Your 2026 APNA Conference Destination
Get ready for an elevated conference experience at the Grand Bohemian Charlotte, host of the 2026 APNA Annual Conference.
Located in the heart of Uptown Charlotte, this boutique luxury hotel blends bold, art-driven design with a refined, welcoming atmosphere. The setting is intentional. It supports connection, focused learning, and meaningful conversations with peers across the country. APNA attendees receive a discounted rate of $299+ per night.
Guest rooms feature custom furnishings, curated artwork, and skyline views, giving you space to reset between sessions. On site, you will find a rooftop lounge, on-site dining, and a full-service spa, all designed to enhance your time beyond the conference.
Step outside and you are within walking distance of Charlotte’s business district, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Everything you need is close, so you can stay focused on what matters most.
