⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect Stay!
Every detail of our stay was truly perfect from start to finish! Leah and Riley were the most welcoming and friendly bartenders—we instantly felt at home, and their energy made every visit to the bar a blast. The hotel’s amazing rooftop happy hour was the icing on the cake: fabulous drinks, stunning views, and the perfect spot to unwind.
The location is ideal—tucked just off the beaten path so it’s peaceful and quiet, yet still walking distance to everything. Rafael Abren was incredible as well; he greeted us with a warm smile and gave us a simple, thoughtful tour of the mezzanine and our room. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality set the tone for the whole stay.
Everyone we encountered was wonderful. This is hospitality at its finest, and we can’t wait to come back!
Everything was perfect! We were on a girls’ trip and the location is incredible and the service was top notch - every single hotel staff member we met cared for us and genuinely wanted to help. We had an amazing time! Special shout out to Tasha who works breakfast - she was delightful and just an incredible lady. Thank y’all so much for the perfect stay.
The Loutrel was terrific overall. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Great little additions throughout the day, including breakfast and a happy hour. Highly recommend.
Room was excellent, staff was helpful and friendly. So many fine details were present - Dyson hairdryer, complimentary snacks and drinks, complimentary happy hour, rooftop terrace. Beautifully appointed. Great location too!
Are room was spotless and so was the rest of the property. Great location and there is a nice parking garage one block from the property that charges $24.00 per day. Breakfast was a bit underwhelming but sufficient. Coffee in the room was great and so were the free snacks and water. Room was also very quiet. Overall great experience. We would definitley stay here again.
I wish there was a Loutrel in every city I traveled to. Everything was wonderful. The beds and pillows were exceptional. Snacks and drinks in the room are included, unheard of in other hotels. Happy hour included with your stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel.
Great location to stores & restaurants. Very clean. Rooms- lovely. Stocked w/ snacks & drinks. Nightly, turn down w/ cookies. They have a 4-5:00- happy hour & a wonderful welcome drink. Lovely rooftop area. Staff- very nice. Daily Breakfast- new choices daily. Overall, 5- stars for us!
Super chic hotel located within walking distance of all things downtown Charleston! The added amenities, just enhanced the entire stay (wonderful drinks and appetizers every evening, cold water and iced tea station all day, amazing hot breakfast every morning); just awesome! Everyone we encountered from the valet to front desk to bar to kitchen and housekeeping were friendly and hospitable. Rooms are also amazing.. spacious and cozy! We loved our stay!
