Beautiful hotel. Our room and bathroom were spacious and clean. Nice amenities in the room. The hotel had a turn down service which was unexpected and welcoming after being out all day. Great little touches such as, leaving a note card about the weather for the next day. The staff was friendly and professional. They gave great recommendations for restaurants and assisted with reservations if needed. The hotel had a wonderful bar area with great cocktails and a really popular espresso martini. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay there again.

This was a pricey stay, but worth it. The convenient downtown location put us in the heart of so much of what classic Charleston has to offer. Our room was small but elegant and the lobby where we ate the breakfast offerings and Carmella’s (right across the street) gelatos, was beautifully decorated and peaceful. We would stay there again!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Palmetto hotel. The location is walking distance from most popular tourist sites and exceptional restaurants. The staff was polite and helpful. We rented a car so that we could take a couple day trips while we were there and there is a valet conveniently located in the building. The breakfast was adequate and we had a little bite there every morning. If we ever return to Charleston, there is no question that we'd stay at this same hotel. I could not give it a higher recommendation.
