The Spectator was everything I imagined and MORE! The amenities (refillable snacks, butler service, bikes) made my experience feel so special and comfortable. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced! It was my 3rd summer in Charleston, and out of all the places I've stayed at, this one BY FAR takes the cake!!!

From the moment we arrived, the hotel staff catered to all of our needs and then some. Every guest had access to a butler. The first night, Chuck, arranged for dinner reservations, and when we returned he had several brochures, maps, and walking tours, along with dinning options. We appreciated that very much. Each evening there was a dessert shot in a chocolate shot cup. They were very good. In addition, all food and beverage items in the room were free-so many places charge extra. Breakfast was included in our stay and we had several choices. It included room service. The room was always clean and tidy with plenty of available toiletries. Whatever was needed-the butler service would handle, including ironing and shoe shining. In addition, when you arrive, you are given a complementary beverage of choice. They have valet service. We checked out of the hotel and attended a tour. The hotel staff was gracious to allow our car to remain on the property so we could attend. I highly recommend The Spectator Hotel. We will definitely stay again.

Stayed here for the 4th of July weekend for the first time and LOVED IT! The suite that we were in overlooked the day/night market, it’s located 6 minutes (in foot) from the beach area, there are TONS of restaurants (also within a 5-10 minute walk) and the staff was amazing! The Spectator still has butler’s! It was a little weird for me (not gonna lie) but also pretty cool! There isn’t a thing on earth that is beyond their reach! David gave us several options for dinner that turned out to be close to the hotel and excellent! Our suite came with a complementary bottle of wine, really good snacks and drinks (like cold coffee, water, and soda) that were refreshed every day, the suite was nicely appointed, comfortable bed, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, a superior bathroom that doesn’t allow you to hear your neighbors! It was a perfect weekend! We’ll absolutely go back!

I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Charleston. The service was amazing and the amenities were great. My daughter and I went to Charleston for a 3 day vacay and the Spectator was a gem. Staff and breakfast were great. Lobby and lounge was very pretty. I liked that you needed key to use elevator, not everyone does this today and it def is a bit more security for guests. Close to king street and walkable to college, rainbow row and many other attractions. We chose to park our rental car less than a block away which was half the price of hotel valet just an fyi…I will def be staying here again asap.
