The Vendue

Exceeding our expectations .... The Vendue gets 5 stars from these New Yorkers. Robbie - concierge (you are awesome Robbie) was key to the best recommendations and advice for making the most of our 3 day stay. We stayed in the historical room in building #26. Beautifully appointed with raw wood beams hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, antique furnishings, stunning artwork and exquisite bathroom all while being incredibly comfortable and welcoming. We enjoyed our room just as much as our visit to the city. Highly recommend this lovely boutique hotel!

The rooms in this hotel are gorgeous and the location is perfect. You are right by the waterfront, right by wonderful restaurants and lots of shopping. It is central to historic Charleston. The rooms are beautiful and very comfortable. We had some issues with our shower. There is no coffee in the rooms so be prepared if you are used to having coffee when you wake up! The food in the hotel is great but don't bother eating and drinking in the rooftop bar. The drinks are watered down and the food is horrendous. The the food in the hotel was wonderful, particularly the breakfast. I highly highly recommend this hotel. Beautiful hotel, lovely rooms and great service from the staff.

Great location in the French Quarter, 5-10 minutes' walk to everything, the Market, restaurants, shopping..... There are beautiful modern art works all around the hotel. They held complimentary wine and art tour from 4-5 pm. Fresh cookie and cold milk at night. They are thoughtful and trying hard. Every employee is very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is pleasant and elegant. The hotel has two buildings, across the street. The main building where you check in and all the restaurants are has elevators. We stayed at a queen room with window, nice antique furnishings, the room is a bit small. My friends stayed at the other building across the street, king room without window. They got a huge room with fireplace, bathtub..... I was very jealous! But the building doesn't have elevator. I asked the front desk, they said each room is different. I can't say enough great things about the hotel. We had a wonderful stay. If we ever come back to Charleston, we'll definitely stay here again. They have a lively rooftop bar. Restaurant "The Drawing Room" has excellent food and service. We had the best lamb chops and dining experience. They have the "can do" attitude; they made me a small portion of sealed foie gars and a simple green salad which I wanted. I highly recommended it! Breakfast in "The Drawing Room" was great too. A lot of choices, we stayed there 4 days, tried 4 different dishes, love them all!

We have visited the Vendue probably 10 times. This is the best hotel I have found based on Location, Staff, Comfort, Hospitality, Ambiance. Absolutely the most relaxed, fun place I know of. In Charleston there are any number of nice hotels but The Vendue is just great.

We visited The Vendue for a long weekend to celebrate a special birthday. We were immediately transported into a very special world where it seemed everyone knew our names and was sincerely concerned with making us happy. We loved the location, between the water park and Bay Street. We took advantage of the free bikes to explore the Battery and streets south of Broad Street. Excellent restaurants are right around the corner. We walked to Saturday Market on King Street, and the historic district was literally at our door step. We recommend The Vendue wholeheartedly.
