The experience staying here was incredible. The staff was so welcoming and helpful and the little things made it all special. From a yummy welcome drink, to making sure our favorites were stocked in the room fridge, to the nightcap waiting each night with our turndown, it all made the trip so much better and more memorable.

We stayed overnight at The Spectator for a quick trip to Charleston. Fantastic location just a few blocks from Waterfront Park, close to King Street and great shopping. Fast valet service, experienced butlers and comfortable, spacious rooms. The breakfast in bed was a lovely finish to our stay. Would definitely stay here again.
