The ESQUIRE HOTEL is located just steps away from Gastonia Conference Center in the historic First National Bank building. Built in the early 1900’s this six-story beauty has been revitalized as a 39 room boutique hotel replete with Barrister’s Restaurant in the lobby, The Notary Pub Tavern in the basement and a rooftop cocktail lounge with exquisite views of nearby Crowders Mountain.

​

Also nearby is WEBB CUSTOM KITCHEN. In the 1920s, the theatre was about celebration and imagination – WCK embraces this and presents it to you. This space possesses character beyond any restaurant in the region and has been voted by customers on Open Table as Best Ambiance in Charlotte. The experience Webb Custom Kitchen offers has been embraced by our community and cherished by those who visit.
