PB hotel design editorial

At the corner of Market and Meeting Streets, where the commercial heart of Charleston's historic peninsula has drawn visitors since the antebellum era, a postmodern palazzo in warm brick and cream-painted stucco has anchored the city's luxury hospitality scene since 1986. Charleston Place was developed by Orient-Express Hotels and designed to hold its own against the Georgian and Federal streetscapes surrounding it — a 440-room property spread across several city blocks that manages, against considerable odds, to defer to its context rather than overwhelm it. The entrance courtyard, visible in the images, sets the tone immediately: verdigris iron gates, a tiered cast-stone fountain planted with seasonal color, and a striped porte-cochère canopy that borrows its palette from traditional Charleston piazza ironwork. Inside, the double Imperial staircase in the main lobby is the building's defining interior gesture — twin runs of verde Guatemala marble with brass-railed wrought-iron balustrades sweeping upward beneath a multi-tiered crystal chandelier, the cream-pink floor laid in a grid of square-cut Rosa Perlino with dark inset medallion. Guest rooms follow a Federal-inflected register: four-poster beds in dark-stained mahogany, paneled walls painted in soft grey, patterned wool carpets, and swag drapery in stripe and damask layered against French balcony doors. The dining room carries the same vocabulary into darker registers — full-height mahogany paneling, arched mirror surrounds, and chartreuse upholstered armchairs that give the traditional envelope an unexpected current of color.

"Where do I start? We came for an overnight yesterday to celebrate our 47th wedding anniversary and couldn’t be happier that we chose The Charleston Place Hotel. We were pleasantly greeted at the front desk by Alessandro who was able to honor our request for an early check-in and greeted us with a glass of champagne for our anniversary. He kindly and professionally answered all questions and gave us a brief tour of the lobby area. After settling our things in our recently renovated, and beautifully appointed room, we headed to the newly renovated pool area. By the way, on our way to our room we passed several staff members who were friendly and asked if we needed help finding our room. We were greeted at the pool by this charming lady(unfortunately I don’t remember her name) who got us settled on lounge chairs after giving us a tour and asking where we’d feel most comfortable. Then we were immediately given ice water and cooling towels by a pool staff member. The pool manager, Daniel checked on us and let us know that our daughters had arranged from some drinks and food for us. He was friendly and fun to talk with. He checked on us a few times during our time there. At the bar Justin and Christine took care of us and were fun and friendly to speak with as we enjoyed what our girls arranged for us. They were attentive to everyone at the bar. Upon returning to our room we were surprised with a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, compliments of the hotel. To say we felt pampered is an understatement. When we left for dinner we were told by the front desk that we could use their complimentary car service by another wonderful front desk member-Eric. The driver was Greg and he also gave us his number to call when we were done with dinner. He was charming and fun to talk with. When we got back we had a nice conversation with Eric. He seemed truly interested in how our dinner and stay has been and we were surprised to see that Alessandro was still there. The two of them are an asset to arriving guests. Finally, we returned to our room where whoever was on last night did a turn down service that was so nice. We highly recommend The Charleston Place Hotel. The service is impeccable and we thank those we had contact with for making our anniversary so special."

"A superb luxury hotel! The location , rooms and amenities exceeded our expectations. The valet service, bellman (Roosevelt), room service (Santos), Palmetto Cafe (Patrick, Logan, Angel), room cleaning, The Thoroughbred Club, the pop up restaurant staff services were fantastic and provided a top notch customer experience. The food was excellent at the cafe, bar and restaurant. Even the staff at the stores located on the property were excellent especially Kelly from the Ike Behar where my husband bought a few items during our stay. We will definitely be back once the spa is completed!"

"My husband and I decided on a weekend getaway to Charleston, South Carolina and to the Charleston place as our home away from home. From the time that we arrived on the property, the valet service greeted us with a friendly smile and gave us some great dinner recommendations as we arrived in the evening. I wanted to note 3 folks particular, Patrick (bellman),, Haleigh, and Logan (valet service). Those were the three folks attending to us during our stay and there service was absolutely impeccable! The front desk service was very accommodating, the facility made sure that every detail of our stay was everything we hoped for and more. Our suite was absolutely amazing! The bed was so very comfortable and the pillows were feather pillows. We felt like we just became one with the bed and we could’ve stayed there all weekend had we it wanted to get out and explore the beauty of the charm in the hospitality, the Charleston, South Carolina has to offer! We had breakfast in the Palmetto Cafe on the property. The chicken and waffles were some of the best we’ve ever had! On our last day, we ventured into the pool area and WOW, we were blown away! The infinity pool, the hot tub, the restrooms, shower, vanity, offered everything one would need before during and after pool activity. The Charleston Place is most certainly one for checking off your bucket list when your travels take you to Charleston, South Carolina! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟"

"After my mom completed a difficult health journey, I surprised her with a celebratory trip to Charleston. Choosing The Charleston Place turned out to be one of the best decisions I could have made. From my very first call, Maisha Harris in Reservations made me feel confident we had chosen the right hotel. She went above and beyond before my mom even arrived, and every member of the team delivered on that promise. My mom couldn’t stop talking about the kindness she experienced. Roosevelt shared a meaningful personal story that made her feel seen, the front desk associate warmly congratulated her on reaching this milestone, John at the Palmetto Café provided wonderful service, and Chef Michelle Weaver made her dinner unforgettable. The moment that meant the most was returning to her room to find a handwritten note and a beautiful chocolate dessert congratulating her. It was such a thoughtful surprise. The Charleston Place is certainly beautiful, but what truly sets it apart is its people. They made my mom feel celebrated, cared for and genuinely special during an important milestone in her life. We’ll never forget their kindness, and I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel."

"All around top notch experience! Customer service far exceeded expectation. My 18 year old daughter and I had a girls weekend to spend time together and I couldn't thank all the staff enough for the gracious hospitality we were shown. The Charleston Place went above and beyond. I highly recommend."
