Charleston is a spectacular city, rich with history and timeless beauty. Horse-drawn carriages make their way down cobblestone streets that lead to some of America's most beautifully preserved antebellum homes along with antique shops, museums, and piazzas. Every spring the town comes alive with celebrations, most notably the Spoleto Festival, a world-class performing arts marathon that attracts performers and fans from all over the globe to this exquisite gem of a city. Whether you're here for Spoleto or at any other time of year, the place to stay is Charleston Place.
Modern day Rhetts and Scarletts, guests of Charleston Place, are swept into tradition in the reception area of the hotel, and embraced by a grand, curving double staircase lit by an enormous crystal chandelier. Upstairs, the 440 rooms and forty suites provide guests with elegant period-style furnishings, ceiling fans, and opulent bathrooms with Botticino marble and glass fixtures. Premier accommodations crown the two top floors where the Club offers a higher level of luxury service. Here you will enjoy a private elevator, concierge service, special check-in and check-out privileges, and complimentary food and cocktails.
Relaxation and recreation begin at the Fitness Center where a retractable glass roof allows year-round sunning and swimming in the heated indoor pool. A fully equipped exercise room, steam room, and sauna are also available. Or you can soak in the huge Jacuzzi while over-looking the view of downtown Charleston.
Southern Living calls afternoons in the Lobby Lounge "the best known of tea times in the city." Evenings in the Lounge are nearly as famous, when hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, and desserts are served to the accompaniment of live piano music. Chef Bob Waggoner, recipient of the coveted Mobil Four Star Award, offers a unique Low Country cuisine at Charleston Grill. Here you can dine in a relaxed atmosphere and ambiance, entertained by a wonderful jazz trio and vocalist. The Palmetto Cafe is another popular dining room which features breakfast and brunch buffets during the weekends.
Charleston Place spares no effort in entertaining its guests with fine southern hospitality and has earned a reputation as one of the finest hotels in the Carolinas.
