Charlotte’s skyline and hospitality scene wouldn’t be the same without Ravi Patel. From transforming a small roadside motel into a hotel empire, to helping shape landmarks like the Convention Center and football stadium, his vision touched every corner of the city. Patel’s journey from Fiji to Charlotte, via engineering, is a real-life American Dream—and he mentored countless hoteliers along the way. As neighbors, it’s wild to think how one person’s drive can ripple through an entire community. How do you see his impact in your daily life, or in the places you love around town? #Business #Charlotte #CommunityImpact
