Zarezerwuj to, jeśli You want the 'Grand Dame' experience of Charleston with a side of pink champagne and a rooftop scene that demands to be Instagrammed.
Dlaczego ludzie to uwielbiają
- The photogenic Camellias champagne bar (it's pink, it's oval, it's everywhere on social media)
- La Pâtisserie's croissants are legitimately French-quality (Chef Rémy Fünfrock is the real deal)
- Prime location on King Street overlooking Marion Square — you are in the dead center of the action
Szybki przegląd: It's a stunning, polished trophy hotel where you pay a premium to see and be seen, but the 'rooftop pool' is basically a glorified plunge pool that gets overcrowded fast.
Przejrzane przez @beautyandthebumpnyc: I took my daughter for a luxury getaway and we were blown away. The lobby is stunning, but seeing her play the grand piano was the highlight. Our room was massive and the marble bathroom with that soaking tub? Pure magic. Perfect for families who love style.

- You love a 'scene' — the lobby and bars are buzzing with well-dressed locals and travelers
- You appreciate high-end finishes like pedestal tubs, marble everywhere, and custom murals
- You are a foodie who wants a French bakery in the lobby and a steakhouse across the street

5 rzeczy, które warto wiedzieć przed wyjazdem
💡The 'Destination Fee' is practically non-existent ($2.28), which is a rare win in the luxury hotel world.
💡The pool is more for dipping and sipping cocktails than actually swimming laps.
💡You can access the spa and La Pâtisserie directly from King Street without going through the main lobby.
💡The murals in the rotunda are historically accurate depictions of 18th-century Charleston harbor.
💡Standard rooms are on the smaller side (~355 sq ft), so don't expect a dance floor unless you upgrade to a suite.
