Wonderful hotel, and I have stayed in many in Charleston. the room was huge and full of unexpected amenities like a full kitchen and a washer/dryer. The second floor lounge provides free coffee and tea each morning and has a beautiful outdoor area. The rooftop bar is just the icing on the cake. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. My car was valet parked by a lovely crew.

Everything about this new hotel is spot on-elegant design and a sweet and attentive staff within a private refuge-despite an often busy central downtown location.

Everything about this place was just fantastic! The cleanliness and the comfortability was amazing. The staff were so welcoming. I was immediately offered complimentary champagne which kicked off our stay! This hotel is in the heart of downtown so we were able to shop, eat and look around all within walking distance which is a plus! The rooftop bar was such a vibe! I would absolutely stay here again!
