Reviews for The Charleston Place
#1 of AmEx FHR stays
10/10 stay! If you're an AmEx platinum member, read this review. I stayed there with my wife and daughter (18 months) and of the 10 FHR and THC of which I've stayed, this was #1. Its extremely well laid out, detail oriented, and highly trained attentive staff. Below are the top reasons why this hotel was #1 for my family and me. 1) Luxury without the pretentious. John at the front desk was outstanding and the staff is very well trained, approachable, easy to talk to, and responsive to needs of guests. The concierge was energetic and gave us lots of maps and recommendations which we utilized to see the majoroty of Charleston attractions. Other FHR/THC have an aire of pretentiousness because you're paying top dollar. Here was southern hospitality with top class class service. We needed to use a freezer to freeze the cold pack for my daughter's milk and keep her milk cold, they promptly assisted us by bringing a mini fridge to our room! Also the guest services also arranged a VIP van to take us to the port for the Fort Sumter ferry during a hot day. 2) No wait for the elevators more than 10 seconds. This made going to/from room, lobby, breakfast, fitness center very quick. The elevators were also spacious and clean. 3) Well thought out. The hangers in the room are ceder and the closets smell like cederwood which makes the robes smell nice. My wife also said the iron was the best iron she's ever used because of how quickly it heats up and removes wrinkles. 4) The in room coffee machines make delicious coffee and theyre generous with both the amount of coffee they give you. 5) Lots of complimentary water in beautiful bottles you can reuse/refill. We took them to Fort Sumter and they metal bottles helps keep water cold as well as doubles as an ice pack for keeping milk cold.

Charleston Place Coffee shop
The coffee was excellent and service as well; Alexey(manager) gave me different options of coffee and ended up giving me a new orange foam flavored coffee. Recommend the coffee and service! :)

Wonderful atmosphere and the best coffee in downtown Charleston!
A truly stunning hotel located right in the historic heart of downtown Charleston. It complements the peaceful and charming vibe of the city so perfectly. I especially want to highlight the hotel's coffee shop. The coffee is rich and aromatic, the pastries are fresh, and the friendly, polite barista Alexey completely made my morning. An absolute pleasure to visit. Thank you so much!

Alexey Makes a Damn Good Cappuccino
Had a great stay at The Charleston Place with my wife. The hotel was beautiful, the service was excellent, and we had a great experience overall. Special shoutout to Alexey at the coffee cart. He made an amazing cappuccino, so good that I ended up going back multiple times for another. Service was always quick and friendly, and the coffee was genuinely one of the highlights of our stay. Alexey did an awesome job!

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.
