Aura Review
Perched five stories above Charlotte in the JW Marriott, Aura Rooftop is the kind of elevated escape that turns an ordinary evening into a rare, sunlit celebration. From the moment you step up, the space feels thoughtfully designed with a botanical, loungey vibe and sweeping city views that glint off the hotel’s mirror-like facade. It’s an immediately photogenic spot — great for date nights, small celebrations, or simply pausing to take in the skyline with a well-made drink in hand. (aurarooftop.com)
What stands out most is Aura’s cocktail program. The menu leans into botanical and signature mixes that feel both refreshing and inventive — perfect companions to the rooftop atmosphere. Whether you’re after a bright, herb-forward aperitif or a playful seasonal special, the bar delivers beverages that match the venue’s upscale-but-relaxed energy. The staff strike a nice balance between professional and personable, helping with recommendations and delivering drinks with flair. (aurarooftop.com)
Beyond the bar, Aura makes excellent use of its rooftop footprint. The pool area, framed by lush foliage and shaded cabanas, creates a resort-like pocket above the city — ideal for daytime lounging or a chilled late-afternoon hangout. Private cabanas and summer packages are highlighted for guests who want a more secluded or celebratory experience, which adds a flexible, hospitality-forward dimension to the overall offering. If you’re visiting in warmer months, the pool and cabana setup make Aura feel like a mini urban oasis. (aurarooftop.com)
Practical details are handled cleanly: Aura welcomes guests 21 and over, and reservations can be made via OpenTable or the JW Marriott booking links for cabanas and packages. Hours are clearly posted, with extended weekend and brunch-adjacent availability that makes it a convenient stop whether you’re planning an early afternoon visit or a night out. The site also notes offerings like private dining, gift cards, and a loyalty program — useful for frequent visitors or anyone planning a larger event. (aurarooftop.com)
The only minor caveat is that, as with many popular rooftops, the best vantage points and cabana space can fill up quickly on busy nights. Arriving early or booking in advance is wise if you want a prime spot. Overall, Aura Rooftop blends stylish design, a strong cocktail lineup, and lovely skyline views into a reliably fun Charlotte destination. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just treating yourself to an elevated evening, Aura delivers an experience that feels both polished and inviting. (aurarooftop.com)
