The Vendue

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.

My husband and I have been staying at this hotel every year for several years. It has a superb location, lovely rooms, very good (and in some cases, excellent) customer service, and very good dining! While we're not of the age to fully enjoy the nightlife on the rooftop, it is extremely popular with both tourists and locals. A special note on the location: it is in the heart of the old district, with plenty of parks, historic homes, and amazing restaurants within walking distance. It's also within 1 block of the free bus with multiple routes within Charleston.

Having stayed in hundreds of hotels through out the years this was what I consider a Perfect hotel, perfect staff, perfect food. Sure the bathroom was a bit small but this is also a hundred year old building, try staying at a 5 star in New York City. Great location to take in old America. Any one who writes a negative review, well your just not a happy person.
