Lobby glamour, rooftop views, Charleston energy

The Charleston Place pairs timeless European elegance with the warmth Charleston does best, wrapped in an atmosphere that feels both polished and lived-in. The iconic lobby, designed as the city’s living room, glows beneath a hand-blown Venetian chandelier of more than 3,000 Murano glass pieces. Days can drift up to the heated rooftop saltwater pool under a retractable roof, then down to a spacious spa for the full reset.

We got married at the Charleston Place 22 years ago! We have been back there about 17+ times since. The hotel, staff and amenities only get better each year; from personal, hand-written notes, to room service (breakfast) by to pool, to champagne waiting in our room at night!!! It is wonderful to see many of the same beautiful, cheerful faces year after year. The staff is AMAZING. I would definitely recommend making The Charleston Place a tradition for any couple ❤️

The staff and the rooms were amazing. The renovation is beautiful. However, we were disappointed to learn that the shops inside the hotel won’t be there anymore, and we missed the coffee shop that used to be there as well. We could still get out of the hotel and onto King Street while we were there, but were no longer able to walk through any shops to get out directly onto Meeting Street. I’m sure they have some great renovations for the space though. Still a great stay!

Shops on campus are very nice and upscale. Sweet water cafe across the street from main entrance is good for a quick breakfast. Also, try Millers on King St for breakfast.
