This by far one of the best experiences we have had in an American hotel. From the minute we arrived the staff made it special. Every detail was unique and above and beyond. From the arrival drink to the complimentary room snacks, the impeccable housekeeping staff, experienced and knowledgeable bell staff- it was all perfect. We have now moved on to a new hotel on our vacation and are left comparing everything to The Loutrel! Thank you!!!

The Loutrel is a beautiful, small hotel in downtown Charleston where all the little touches make it feel great to be there … beautiful wine glasses in the bar, Dyson hairdryers in the rooms, complimentary drinks, quality snacks in the room, amazing beds .. I could go on and on, refinements at every step (not what you get in 95% + American Hotels) … beautiful calm reception area which doubles as a breakfast area (simple breakfast but high quality)

Wonderful stay at The Loutrel. Perfect location just off the main drag but walking distance from everything. Room was spacious and really nice, staff friendly and professional, and the rooftop deck was AMAZING. The musician playing up there for sunset happy hour was a highlight of the trip. Will definitely stay again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect Stay! Every detail of our stay was truly perfect from start to finish! Leah and Riley were the most welcoming and friendly bartenders—we instantly felt at home, and their energy made every visit to the bar a blast. The hotel’s amazing rooftop happy hour was the icing on the cake: fabulous drinks, stunning views, and the perfect spot to unwind. The location is ideal—tucked just off the beaten path so it’s peaceful and quiet, yet still walking distance to everything. Rafael Abren was incredible as well; he greeted us with a warm smile and gave us a simple, thoughtful tour of the mezzanine and our room. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality set the tone for the whole stay. Everyone we encountered was wonderful. This is hospitality at its finest, and we can’t wait to come back!

Are room was spotless and so was the rest of the property. Great location and there is a nice parking garage one block from the property that charges $24.00 per day. Breakfast was a bit underwhelming but sufficient. Coffee in the room was great and so were the free snacks and water. Room was also very quiet. Overall great experience. We would definitley stay here again.
