The French Quarter Inn provided a perfectly charming accommodation experience. Friendly, helpful and thoughtful staff, ideal location (walking distance to many must-see areas,) attention to every detail. Comfortable, clean, quiet and beautiful property and rooms, lobby-supplied inviting and delicious breakfast, happy hour, sweets, water and night caps. As a multi-generational Charlestonian, now living in Texas, my expectations were high...the inn exceeded them. I gladly and enthusiastically offer my highest recommendation.

If you are staying anywhere else in Charleston, you’re doing it wrong! My wife and I visited in November 2025, and the French Quarter Inn provided the single best hotel experience of our lives. I made a significant error with our reservation (entirely my fault), and the staff handled it like absolute legends. They went above and beyond to rectify my mistake, ensuring our trip didn’t skip a beat. That level of service is unheard of! The hotel itself is stunning and located literally in the center of the action—we walked everywhere. Our room was beautiful, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. We also looked forward to the food every single day; the breakfast, evening happy hours, and late-night snacks were world-class and the perfect touch. We recommend the French Quarter Inn and the City of Charleston without limitation. To the staff: thank you for a flawless stay!

Christmas season in Charleston is special. We spent 3 nights with 2 couples who have been long time friends, and chose the French Quarter Inn as home-base. We were all impressed with all aspects of this excellent hotel. The location is central, non of us used our cars during the stay, walking to restaurants and entertainment. The atmosphere is one of elegant refinement, and the Christmas decorations were a special treat. Rooms are classy, exceptionally clean, and quiet. Bedding is luxury all the way, as are the toiletries, linens, and robes. Service is friendly and quick. The breakfast buffet was excellent, as were the afternoon cheese and wine, and evening cookies and sherry! We are already planning our Christmas vacation for next year back at the French Quarter.

This is a wonderful hotel, the location is great for walking to restaurants, shops, the harbor fountain area. The hotel as well as our room was very nice and clean, very quite in the evening, all staff members were very welcoming and the valet service was quick and easy. The breakfast , cocktail hour, and milk and cookies in the evening were excellent. Whenever we come back to Charleston we will definitely stay here, absolutely enjoyed our stay!

We have been having a great visit at the French Quarter Inn. The location is perfect for walking to all the sights. Our room is so comfortable and has everything we need. A great breakfast is included plus a wonderful wine & cheese hour there is also night cap service and candy with coffee & tea available all the time. So much value added when staying here, and the people from the valet, front desk and everyone else are all so kind and helpful they have really made our trip

I am a former chef and am now a catering director at a private country club. Being extremely picky and wanting the best possible accommodations and food - we were nothing but happy with French Quarter Inn!

My wife and I stayed at the French Quarter Inn on a Monday and Tuesday evening. As our second visit to Charleston, we wanted to enjoy the Battery area history and restaurants for a couple days. French Quarter Inn was fantastic! The staff really set the stage for a memorable and rejuvenating visit. Charleston really is a unique and wonderful city, and I highly recommend the French Quarter Inn for helping us take a little of Charleston with us.
