It's a spectacular hotel in all means. Location, cleanliness, staff, meals. Caring for all the smallest detail you can think of, one of my favorite hotels i have been to. The butler touch was significantly special, thank you all at the hotel for your thoughtfulness, caring and hospitality. We enjoyed it so much. Highly recommended.

Wow! Excellence personified. 5 star service, Amazing staff, especially Michelle our butler and Wade, the valet crew, front desk welcome cocktail, the welcome bottle of wine and turn down service with the tiramisu and bushwhacker nightcap, the well thought out free snacks, and soft drinks. Great location. We love boutique hotels and Charleston is full of them. The Spectator exceeded our expectations and made it hard to try any place else the next time we visit…and we will be back. Thanks to everyone who made our trip very special. Continued success!

Amazing staff and service made our son's birthday celebration special and was unexpected as we'd mentioned the trip was for his birthday to our butler upon arrival and he asked what our visit entailed to help with reservations or directions to anything and they sent us a small birthday cake complete with balloons and a note from the hotel, which really surprised and delighted all of us in how they'd gone above and beyond here. The breakfast delivery to the room that's included here was also wonderful and always on time and correct with the orders. The device cleaner and noise machine were great perks as well. Definitely recommend this hotel!
