The staff was incredible—kind, thoughtful, and genuinely accommodating. The location is central, with several great restaurants just a short walk away. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the thoughtful amenities make you feel right at home. I can’t wait to book my next stay!

This was a great location, I loved the suite style room with many amenties in the kitchenette. The Bar Daniel and roof top were fun and so convenient. The staff was amazing! Only recommendation is to have hand soap in the bathroom. Weird that it's missing and had to use the shower gel.

Stunning boutique hotel. Immaculate grounds. Room was impeccable and clean and quiet. High end furnishings and appliances. Our room was a suite with a separate bedroom and it felt like home. Staff was always friendly and helpful. Awesome place to stay. Would highly recommend. Also: perfect place for a wedding party to stay. The roof top bar was the place to be!

Great hotel in the heart of central Charleston. Historic flavor but well appointed, comfortably modern rooms. We stayed in a suite that had a very well stocked kitchenette so would be great for a multi-day stay. Rooftop restaurant and bar was heavenly! The only thing we wished the hotel had was blackout shades in the living area of the suite. Other than that it was perfect!
