"A nostalgic, Roaring '20s–style boutique hotel noted for glittering chandeliers, plush velvet furnishings, and an on-site speakeasy-style bar with handcrafted cocktails and Prohibition-era ambiance." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.

"Also in Charleston I found The Spectator Hotel notable for its personalized service: each guest is assigned a personal butler who can transform a room with Christmas decorations and deliver requested treats and drinks." - Matt Ortile
"An art deco–inspired boutique featuring hand-painted wallpaper and a sparkling three-tiered chandelier, with 41 airy rooms outfitted with locally sourced mattresses, custom pillows, and Deep Steep bath products. Each stay includes a locally sourced in-room breakfast, and guests have access to a personal butler who can assist with tasks ranging from drawing baths to making dinner reservations. Evenings can be spent in a Prohibition-inspired bar serving creative cocktails and small bites." - Devorah Lev-Tov
"Immediately south of Charleston's historic market, this boutique hotel attracted instant raves when it opened in the summer of 2015. The lobby is a stunner, with features that channel 1920s glamour with a contemporary twist: a gently cascading waterfall wall, a hand-painted bird mural, a stuffed white peacock, and amethyst-colored drapes. The bar is the hotel's greatest strength, both in design and service. Bartender Allen Lancaster bristles at the term mixologist, but he's creative indeed, incorporating ingredients like grapefruit bitters, chamomile-lemongrass honey, orange blossom, and rosewater perfume into his daily creations."
