They had a very nice breakfast every morning with a lot of good options. We enjoyed complimentary wine and cheese every evening for happy hour and their cookies and brownies at night were delicious! The welcoming champagne was a very nice touch. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We loved this hotel and would definitely stay there again.

We loved our stay here! The included breakfast, afternoon wine and cheese, and bedtime cookies were a great addition to our trip. Our 5 yr old got stung by a bee while eating breakfast outside and one employee grabbed her ice and brought her back later some candy and treats which was so kind!

This is a beautiful property managed by lovely people. Service is impeccable from Jay the doorman to the lobby to the ladies that clean our rooms. Exceptionally clean, so comfortable. One of my guests decided just to sleep the day away in that comfortable bed. There is an activity throughout the day from the wonderful breakfast to cookies and cream at night I highly recommend and I look forward to returning to Charleston and staying in at this beautiful hotel.

Beautiful, large room that comfortably fit a family of five with a balcony overlooking the market square. Great service. Loved all the complementary items (breakfast, wine, cheese & charcuterie, all day candy, tea, coffee & fruit, cookies, milk & port at night). Great to be in the heart of the French Quarter for first time visitor yet the hotel still felt safe and quiet.

Visit it once and you’ll want to return

Our stay was fabulous! The room we had was so comfortable and luxurious. It was tastefully decorated with warm and peaceful tones and the bathroom had the prettiest marble tiles in a striking pattern. We slept soundly; the sheets felt so good and it was quiet. Every staff member was friendly and engaging. The breakfast was amazing and so was happy hour. We loved the layout of the hotel and its unique architectural details. The location is perfect too for historic and scenic walks. We will return!
