Close to everything and plenty of perks with free snacks in room and lounge. Rooftop terrace has amazing views and a great spot to relax. The free drinks and appetizers from 4-5 is also a great perk. The day we were there we were so busy touring the town we missed lunch, the free bacon wrapped chicken bites hit the spot. Additionally the free breakfast was fantastic, far above what you’ll get at a normal continental breakfast. First day we were there it was eggs Benedict.

What a beautiful property! As nice as Ritz Carlton but many free amenities. Included breakfast was fresh and delicious, complimentary cocktail hour every afternoon, in room snacks and beverages free. Staff is very friendly and efficient. Rooftop open air lounge a plus. Great value!

Amazing! The bar has been raised for hospitality and excellence. The attention to detail, comfort, and thoughtfulness to the guest experience was shown through beautiful high end rooms, fantastic breakfast, and many included amenities like bicycles, a free cocktail hour, turn down service, and free snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. The location was also superb. The Loutrel has thought creatively about comfort and hospitality. I was totally impressed and highly recommend!!!

A very good hotel in the French quarter of Charleston. Attentive staff, nice rooms. Excellent location for walking in historic Charleston. We chose not to rent a car because parking can be a challenge in down town Charleston. It was a very nice stay.

Beautiful hotel in historic Charleston just steps away from the City Market. Spacious rooftop seating area. Several restaurants, attractions, and shops within walking distance. Staff is very helpful and attentive. I had a heat-related incident and multiple staff members checked on me and offered to help. I would definitely stay here again!
