Stayed here for the 4th of July weekend for the first time and LOVED IT! The suite that we were in overlooked the day/night market, it’s located 6 minutes (in foot) from the beach area, there are TONS of restaurants (also within a 5-10 minute walk) and the staff was amazing! The Spectator still has butler’s! It was a little weird for me (not gonna lie) but also pretty cool! There isn’t a thing on earth that is beyond their reach! David gave us several options for dinner that turned out to be close to the hotel and excellent! Our suite came with a complementary bottle of wine, really good snacks and drinks (like cold coffee, water, and soda) that were refreshed every day, the suite was nicely appointed, comfortable bed, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, a superior bathroom that doesn’t allow you to hear your neighbors! It was a perfect weekend! We’ll absolutely go back!

I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Charleston. The service was amazing and the amenities were great. My daughter and I went to Charleston for a 3 day vacay and the Spectator was a gem. Staff and breakfast were great. Lobby and lounge was very pretty. I liked that you needed key to use elevator, not everyone does this today and it def is a bit more security for guests. Close to king street and walkable to college, rainbow row and many other attractions. We chose to park our rental car less than a block away which was half the price of hotel valet just an fyi…I will def be staying here again asap.
