Reviews for The Charleston Place
Luxury Meets Warmth - a true luxurious Southern Hospitality Experience
We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Charleston Place. We are so in love with this property and the people who work there that we have now stayed there more than 10 times, including several major holidays. The beauty of the property will capture your attention, but the people who work there will capture your heart. And, we are happy to report that over the years, the staff has remained predominantly unchanged. Shout out to Roosevelt (our toddler’s best friend) , Sam (our toddler’s second best friend), Bessis, Christina, Angel, Lauren, Steve, Shruti and so many others I’m forgetting. Each staff member has made such a memorable impression on our family and really makes the hotel feel like a home away from home. In addition to the amazing hospitality, the hotel is gorgeous from head to toe. From the moody bar where you can always make a new friend, the iconic lobby with grand fresh flower centerpieces every day, the posh Palmetto Cafe for long breakfasts, the lavish rooms, the gorgeous ballrooms that host ticketed holiday events, the great shopping literally right below you, and so much more - it is a home run. Additionally, the location of the hotel is really in the heart of everything - right in the center of the best part of downtown, in my opinion. A very nice, new addition is the hotel’s house car that has helped us get to and from dinner many a rainy night or fussy toddler night where we needed a quick ride back. We can’t wait to go back. Quit your Google search and book today!

The Charleston Place is beyond any visitors expectations. Atmosphere, food, hotel employees go beyond any experience I have ever encountered. It has been an ongoing tradition for our family to visit yearly during the Charleston Tennis Open. Thank you to all staff!!!

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.
