From the staff to the accommodations, The Loutrell was impeccable in every way. We cannot recommend this property highly enough. Given our experience, I'm somewhat surprised it merits "only" a four-star rating. The front desk staff was especially outstanding. The warm greeting and helpful information about the area was much appreciated.

We stayed on Christmas night. Absolutely wonderful. From the warm greeting with a complimentary cocktail, to the spotless room and tasty treats for us to indulge in. The welcoming note and thoughtful little gift were a pleasant surprise. Their small lounge was open and the service was superior as well as the decor. European breakfast was excellent. The hot food was cooked to perfection, the selection of fruits and pastries was outstanding. We left that morning with happy tummies to say the least. Valet service was speedy and attentive. I will absolutely stay there again. Best Christmas ever!!!

We loved our stay at the Loutrel. The staff was helpful and friendly. The lobby area for breakfast and evening cocktails is bright and airy. The rooms are spacious, well appointed, and comfortable. The hotel is in easy walking distance to the daily market, and restaurants. We will definitely be staying here during our next visit.

This by far one of the best experiences we have had in an American hotel. From the minute we arrived the staff made it special. Every detail was unique and above and beyond. From the arrival drink to the complimentary room snacks, the impeccable housekeeping staff, experienced and knowledgeable bell staff- it was all perfect. We have now moved on to a new hotel on our vacation and are left comparing everything to The Loutrel! Thank you!!!

The Loutrel is a beautiful, small hotel in downtown Charleston where all the little touches make it feel great to be there … beautiful wine glasses in the bar, Dyson hairdryers in the rooms, complimentary drinks, quality snacks in the room, amazing beds .. I could go on and on, refinements at every step (not what you get in 95% + American Hotels) … beautiful calm reception area which doubles as a breakfast area (simple breakfast but high quality)
