Ultimate luxury in Charleston

This hotel is the epitome of luxury in Charleston. As you arrive, there are people to greet you, help you check in, make sure your room is superb. We had a one bedroom suite that was filled with period antiques, toile drapes and oriental carpets on the floor. It was spectacular and the service from the bellman to room service was perfect. Everyone made us feel more than welcome and we actually felt like it was home for our week's stay.

The Palmetto Cafe is a 4 diamond star restaurant and the food was unbelievable. We ate there every day as it could not compare to food we had had at any other restaurant in any city we have visited.

Excellent Hotel, Even Better Location

We stayed on the club floor level. Worth every penny when travelling with children. We have a 2yr old and 13yr old and we were very grateful for the food, beverages and place to hang out. The location is fantastic for Charleston, close to everything. Wish the room had flat screen tv. It is football playoff time. Other than that extremely happy with the stay.

Great location for a great vacation

From the moment you pull up you know you are at a very special place. 5 stars accross th board except for the mattresses. The rooms could stand an update beginning with the bed and media. Beyond that my wife and I was so impressed with the level of pampering. Resturants were outstanding. The location for the Hotel is perfect walking distance to just about everything. and 20 min from the airport.

Enjoyable luxury and great service!

We came for a couple of days of a family holiday. We all enjoyed the stay with the great pool, gym, fantastic restaurant and all the trimmings and excellent service able to help you find anything you want. And everywhere is the smell of Charleston pumped out through the air conditioning! So everyone was happy. My daughter decide not to join us the restaurant. The best evening of her holiday was enjoying room service in the luxurious room! The only gripe was that the wireless internet signal only worked near the door not in the main part of the room.
