Very impressed with the Southern hospitality at The Spectator hotel. Our butler Jim was very attentive to detail and our needs. He was always willing to assist and recommend. The staff and other butlers were very hospitable and welcoming. The hotel was close to the Market and various scenic sites and restaurants in the area. The 20's cocktail bar was always the place to be to have a drink before your night out !!!! Thank you Spectator Team !!!!

Luxe family retreat in the heart of Charleston

The Spectator was probably the best hotel I have stayed at, even better than The Broadmoor. The service was on point...we were greeted by a butler (Wil) who gave us every bit of information we could want about our stay in Charleston, and his suggestions did not disappoint. We were greeted with a cocktail for my husband and I, mocktails for the girls, plus chocolates, and there was a bottle of wine AND a full, complimentary mini bar with local snacks and sodas and water. The beds were very comfortable, the room was clean and they had umbrellas available at the door, which were definitely needed. It's located in the French Quarter. Tons of restaurants and attractions around. We liked Magnolias and O Bar. If we come back to Charleston I would be thrilled to stay there again. The VIP deal Hotels.com offered ended up being way more generous than I had expected. The wonderful Spectator staff members are why.

The Spectator was everything I imagined and MORE! The amenities (refillable snacks, butler service, bikes) made my experience feel so special and comfortable. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced! It was my 3rd summer in Charleston, and out of all the places I've stayed at, this one BY FAR takes the cake!!!

From the moment we arrived, the hotel staff catered to all of our needs and then some. Every guest had access to a butler. The first night, Chuck, arranged for dinner reservations, and when we returned he had several brochures, maps, and walking tours, along with dinning options. We appreciated that very much. Each evening there was a dessert shot in a chocolate shot cup. They were very good. In addition, all food and beverage items in the room were free-so many places charge extra. Breakfast was included in our stay and we had several choices. It included room service. The room was always clean and tidy with plenty of available toiletries. Whatever was needed-the butler service would handle, including ironing and shoe shining. In addition, when you arrive, you are given a complementary beverage of choice. They have valet service. We checked out of the hotel and attended a tour. The hotel staff was gracious to allow our car to remain on the property so we could attend. I highly recommend The Spectator Hotel. We will definitely stay again.
