Belmond Charleston Place

Let me simply say: if you have the money, GO! My best friend was turning 60, her husband secretly arranged my husband and myself to be there in another suite of course, and surprised her when he took her down a different floor, so suspenseful & seconds later, we joined up to have the best time of our years together, in the center of Charleston, a walking city, and in-hotel divine highly rated restaurant where the food is anything but ordinary in all ways. My friend saw John McCaine on the Club floor, where she stayed, it's a slightly higher-rated floor, and I know that it is a very popular as a go-to spot for famous clientele, it is tucked away, quieter,w/ a more private spot for gathering w/ drinks and talk and with outstanding service. There is a fun bar atop the building, (this place is large!), for more average fare and prices, with seating at a bar w/ everything you need. There are a number of shops on the street level floor, which I almost did not notice until I read it and walked around the block. Very high-end boutique shopping there, as well as down the blocks heading toward the fashion, antiques, and dining districts.

The hotel was good but the massage given by Triston was the worst experience ever. I've had easily 40 massages but never have I been bruised by the unskilled hands of a masseuse! My Swedish massage turned into 80 minutes of pain. Avoid her at all costs.

Luxury from the moment you enter the property to every corner turned. Very accommodating staff from bellhop, front desk, dining and bar. I feel spoiled and over indulged every time we stay here. By far, our favorite place to stay in Charleston.

Checked out a week ago today and have missed the hotel ever since! elegant lobby, fantastic concierge, comfortable suite (2A) with adjoining room (210) for kids. special shout out to Austin from breakfast who provided excellent service to me, my parents and my eight month old (who loved her lightly fried egg). Also appreciate the piano player in Thoroughbred lobby bar who played the theme song from the Disney movie Frozen for my 8 and 10 year old daughters (they thought that was pretty cool). This is THE place to stay in Charleston perfect location to walk to everything you would want to see and do. Only minor drawback was the lack of a bathtub in the suite which was problematic for bathing a baby. For Elegant "Old world charm" with modern conveniences this is the only place to consider. My eight year old summed it up best when we checked in "Dad this is a really beautiful hotel"

I stayed at this hotel several years ago and felt it needed updating. I had read that the hotel underwent major renovations so decided to give it another try. The renovations have been beautifully done and the hotel will once again be my go to when visiting Charleston. Fabulous location with an back door to take you right to King Street. Thank you Charleston Place for a great visit!
