The Spectator Hotel

Charleston, SCHome » Boutique Hotels » Charleston Boutique Hotels » The Spectator Hotel The Spectator Hotel67 State St., Charleston, SC 29401The awards and accolades for The Spectator are too numerous to list here… it’s that spectacular.

Located at the intersection of the famed City Market and Charleston’s French Quarter, the hotel is perfectly positioned near many of Charleston’s top attractions and things to do. Stroll over to the College of Charleston, the Gibbes Art Museum, Philadelphia Alley, Dock Street Theater, or grab a horse-drawn carriage ride. Start your day with a gourmet continental breakfast delivered to your room by your personal butler (each guest has one). They are the hotel’s ambassadors and are famous for anticipating needs and making sure every facet of your stay is remarkable. And with staff like that, you can rest assured that the rooms are stellar. They're spacious and feature seemingly endless high-end amenities. The gorgeous lobby will blow you away with its dazzling chandelier, golden elevator, and custom made silk tapestries. After a day exploring historic downtown Charleston, head back to the swanky Prohibition-style Spectator Bar and sip a vintage-inspired cocktail to top off the perfect day on your Charleston getaway. The Spectator vibe is classy with plenty of the refined glamour of the Old South. That means there are plenty of little indulgences for you such as complimentary bicycles, a welcome cocktail, and optional add ons like private mixology classes, in-room massage, and much more.

Charleston, SCHome » Boutique Hotels » Charleston Boutique Hotels » The Palms Oceanfront The Palms Oceanfront1126 Ocean Blvd., Isle of Palms, SC 29451Just a short drive from historic Charleston, you’ll find the breezy coastal town of Isle of Palms and its loveliest beachfront boutique hotel, The Palms Oceanfront. This property has recently undergone a head-to-toe renovation and each one of its guest rooms has a modern maritime style with plenty of inspiration from nature.
