"After 50 years of marriage, not much remains that is unexpected or unexperienced. Although our ‘big celebration’ will be in Europe for the Christmas marketplaces, we decided that on our special day, we would make a celebratory trip to Charleston. Consulting ChatGPT, I selected The Spectator, based on their promises, expecting a nice high-end hotel. What I did NOT expect was personal butler service (David), who answered every question we had, delivered treats to our room and even brought breakfast in bed the next morning. Everyone from the valet to the front desk to David himself were over the top in exceeding our expectations. We would highly recommend The Spectator for those moments that you truly need to create an outstanding memory."

"The hotel staff treated me like family. Exceptional service. Chuck was very informative about the area and provided me with directions on navigating the area. Daryl was exceptionally kind and made me feel special one day when he saw me after he left work to remind me to stay hydrated because it was so hot. The housekeepers were kind and very attentive and helpful. This will be my go to place when I return."

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Spectator Hotel from start to finish. From the moment we checked in until our departure, the customer service was truly world-class. The entire team went above and beyond with pampering us with thoughtful amenities, offering great local recommendations, and ensuring every single need was met. The location could not be better. Almost all of Charleston’s must-see spots in the historic district are within a short walk, making exploring effortless (though you will want a car for the nearby beaches and outer sights). A special thank you to Chuck, Reid, Toby, Rose, Evelyn, Temier, and the rest of the incredible team for providing such attentive, personalized service. They all made us feel so well cared for and we can’t wait to come back!"

"An excellent hotel in a great location!"

"My family and I had a wonderful experience at The Spectator in Charleston. As soon as we pulled up to the entrance, the valet, Tyler, greeted us and helped us get our bags unloaded. We went inside to check-in and the receptionist was gracious and welcoming. She introduced us to one of our butlers, Will, who showed us up to our room. Will spent several minutes helping us plan an itinerary for our trip and pointed out some "must see" attractions in Charleston. He made us feel very welcome and at home. The room was very clean and our minibar was stocked with water, coke, iced coffee, and sparkling water. There were also snacks like chocolate covered nuts and raisens, goldfish crackers, pb filled pretzels, and others. The warming rack for towels was a very nice addition to the room. I'm very picky about beds, but these met my expectations and provided a wonderful nights sleep. We placed our breakfast order on the card provided in the room, which was delivered on time by another butler, Darryl, the next morning. Darryl was the sunshine to start our day. His positive attitude and willingness to help with anything we might need was much appreciated. Everyone at The Spectator came off as authentically wanting us to enjoy our stay. Many hotels make visitors feel like a burden, but The Spectator makes you feel like you matter. The location is excellent, right next to the market. Despite not having an on-site restaurant, the breakfast was good and better than I was expecting. Keep in mind you are within a couple of blocks of 10-20 restaurants, so eating is still convenient without having to drive somewhere. There isn't a pool or workout room, but that wasn't what we were there to do. Overall, a wonderful experience! I have no reason to stay anywhere else next time we visit Charleston."
