Reviews for The Charleston Place
Blown Away
Wow. We were blown away. With other nearby hotels $3000+ per night, we “settled” on The Charleston Place. This place was Ritz+ … gorgeous, just remodeled rooms, spectacular lobby preserving old while looking brand new, over-the-top food, and superb, superb service. The location couldn’t be more convenient. Highly recommend.

Charleston Place is always the best!!! Deloris and Stewart Mungo
WE have been coming here since it opened in 1986 and have never been disappointed. We have had once in a lifetime events there as in my son's wedding and also Rehearsal dinner at the Riviera Theater. We go 5 to 6 times a year and enjoy the stay immensely . The last year and a half has been a little complicated as they have done extensive and beautiful remodeling, but there is no hotel to compare with the Carleton Place!!

Outstanding
We had an outstanding experience here. Despite the ongoing renovations, the hotel had a flawless presentation. The people we met who worked here were friendly and nice. They made our entire family feel very welcome. The room was beautiful and the club lounge had the best food. Only down point was that the fitness area was surprisingly small. Overall, I’d recommend this place to friends and family.

Best in Charleston
Came in for business with 25 people. Not a single complaint. Perfect hotel experience from the staff to the room to the food. Every box checked.

Charleston charm and luxury
Our stay could not have been more lovely. From the top notch assistance from doormen, to wait staff. Everyone was exceedingly helpful. Bessie, insured our arrival was seamless as we navigated the construction and repeatedly asked whenever we saw him if we needed anything. This was a first class experience and we look forward to visiting again.

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.
