Memorable Birthday Experience
I took my daughter to Afternoon Tea at The Thoroughbred Club for her birthday. Everything was superb. Chris was fantastic, he took wonderful care of us and made my daughter feel extra special. All of the employees we encountered did. The tea was great (try the coconut!) and the food tower was delicious. My daughter enjoyed the butterfly lemonade and her food tower as well. I couldn't have asked for a more lovely birthday for my 5 year old.

Worth the trip every time!
My husband and I come to The Charleston Place so often that sometimes it’s almost embarrassing! But the truth is, there is simply nowhere we relax quite the way we do here. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms and suites are always fresh and comfortable, and the location could not be better for walking, shopping and enjoying Charleston. We also love that The Charleston Place never seems to rest on its reputation. They are constantly improving and enhancing the property, and every time we return there seems to be something beautiful and new to enjoy. But what really brings us back is the people. When friends ask what we do in Charleston, sometimes we feel like we need to make something up! The truth is, we are perfectly happy settling into the Thoroughbred Club and letting Chris, Trey and so many others take wonderful care of us. Lauren, formerly at the front desk and now in reservations, always has the biggest smile. We first got to know Natalie when she was helping us at breakfast, and now we seem to find her throughout the hotel, making sure guests are happy and well cared for. The Club Lounge staff is delightful, and after a few months away, we find ourselves catching up with everyone as though we were visiting old friends. What is remarkable, though, is that the staff never lose their sense of professionalism. They make us feel genuinely welcome and remembered, yet never forget that we are on vacation and are there to relax, be spoiled a little, and be beautifully taken care of. That is a rare balance. We used to travel frequently to New Orleans because it was only a two-hour drive. Now we willingly spend six or seven hours getting to Charleston because we know what—and who—is waiting for us when we arrive. Thank you to everyone at The Charleston Place for making us look forward to every trip back. I wish I could thank all of you by name!

I traveled with my family (husband, and two children ages 2 and 4) on a Luxury Link auction package to Charleston Place in August. True good service is making travel effortless for the visitor, and Charleston Place delivered. There was no problem in bringing our children. We arrived about an hour before official check-in, but our room was ready and keys were given. Concierge had pre-printed directions to many of the sites. Finally, our Luxury Link credits for spa and dinner was automatically applied at check-out, so the check-out sheet that I received the morning of departure already had the correct amount that needed to be charged. Effortless! The Club floor included an expanded continental buffet breakfast, as well as drinks and finger foods throughout most of the day. This was very convenient and the breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres were particularly extensive. What makes Charleston Place stand out from myriad other places to stay in Charleston - many more historic or quaint or intimate - is the amenities offered. The pool with surrounding deck and kiddie pool is a very pleasant spot. The spa treatments were wonderful and very professional. Dinner at Charleston Grill was our favorite meal of the trip. The flavors were complex and fresh - this is not your typical fried and heavy Southern cuisine. I can see Charleston Place appealing to business travelers, couples needing pampering, families with older children, and yes, families with young children. All in all, a service-oriented hotel in a wonderful location with superior amenities and appealing to many different types of travelers.
