Amazing hotel, with the most helpful and friendly staff I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Beautiful, clean rooms, excellent location within walking distance of everywhere you want to be. Such a great experience, I can’t imagine ever staying anywhere else in Charleston. We traveled with my 16 and 20 yr old and they loved it too. One suggestion: get Bacardi behind the bar, that Hilton Head rum was like drinking lighter fluid. Thank you!

We absolutely love staying at The Loutrel whenever we visit Charleston. This was our third stay, and it truly feels like coming back to a place that’s both special and welcoming. Everything is always spotless, and the hotel has such a beautiful, cozy feel. We especially love the lobby — it’s so charming and inviting, and it sets the tone for a relaxing stay from the moment you walk in. The Loutrel has become such a memorable part of our Charleston trips, and we already look forward to coming back again.

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend stay at The Loutrel. Our room was very spacious and staged with everything we might have needed including complimentary snacks and beverages and quality linens. We also appreciated the very quiet AC system that made it easy to sleep comfortably. The daily Happy Hour that offered a signature cocktail and the morning breakfast with ample food selections made the stay even more enjoyable and convenient.

We stayed at The Loutrel last week, and I’m still thinking about how perfect the experience was. From the moment we walked in, the place felt calm, elegant, and beautifully put together—like someone designed it specifically to make guests feel relaxed.

Our room was the highlight. It was spotless, bright, and incredibly comfortable, with those little thoughtful touches that make you feel taken care of. The bed was one of the best we’ve slept in, and the space had this peaceful, modern charm that made it hard to leave each morning.

And the location—honestly, it couldn’t be better. We loved being able to step right out into the heart of downtown Charleston. Great restaurants, historic streets, and all the energy of the city were just steps away, yet inside the hotel it always felt quiet and tucked away.

The staff made the stay even better. Everyone we interacted with was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. They struck that perfect balance of being helpful without ever feeling intrusive.

The rooftop terrace was another favorite spot. we spent time up there just soaking in the views and enjoying how serene it felt above the city. After staying there, I completely understand why The Loutrel gets such high praise. It’s stylish, comfortable, perfectly located, and run by people who clearly care about creating a great experience. We loved every part of it and would go back in a heartbeat.

This hotel is beautiful!!! Starting at the lobby which is well appointed and comfortable. The swing was a fun addition. They have snacks, fruit infused water and iced tea available most of the day/eve. The room was large with a super comfy bed and pillows. The fridge was always fully stocked with water and other drinks as well as misc snacks in the room. Even a Dyson hairdryer. The breakfast was good and different each morning. The staff was friendly and helpful. Liked that every afternoon during happy hour they had music or a tour guide etc as well as a specialty cocktail and appetizer. In a convenient location, walkable to king street and the open air market. The rooftop patio had cool views and plenty of seating. Highly recommend!!!

The Loutrel is, without question, one of the finest hotels in America. From the moment you arrive, every detail feels thoughtful, polished, and genuinely welcoming. The design is stunning, the rooms are immaculate and luxurious, and the service is on another level. Every member of the staff makes you feel like a truly valued guest rather than just another reservation.

The location is perfect for experiencing Charleston, but the hotel itself is so beautiful and comfortable that you may never want to leave. The rooftop terrace, exceptional hospitality, and attention to even the smallest details create an experience that feels both sophisticated and personal.

I have stayed at many wonderful hotels, but The Loutrel stands in a class of its own. It is not simply the best hotel in Charleston, it may very well be the best hotel in America. An unforgettable five-star experience from beginning to end.

11/10 Could not be happier with the stay. Staff was so nice and attentive, breakfast was fantastic, amenities were truly exceptional, close to king street and everything we needed but not close to the extent where you can be bothered by noise. Our only recommendations would be a broader range of higher protein options at breakfast, late night room service options, and an addition of a house car to help with rides to local spots such as dinner. Will definitely stay again!

The valet parking overnight is cheaper than nearby park and pay lots. The welcome drinks were a nice added touch, plus all the drinks and snacks in the mini fridge are included which was nice. The housekeepers were friendly & the come in and clean during the day and later in the evening they come do a turndown service. Complimentary breakfast was good also.

I cannot say enough about The Loutrel. It was recommended by my daughter who stayed there last year. She said it was a hotel to remember and she was spot on! From the moment we walked in it felt special graced with Southern hospitality. The lobby/gathering area & bar was so beautifully decorated with so much natural light. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Our room and all common areas were so clean and spacious with large windows letting in natural light. The extras are the bomb! Finally a hotel that doesn’t add on for every little thing and includes more than you could imagine. There is wonderful variety of complimentary drinks & snacks waiting for you in your room & replenished daily. The Mezzanine Level has a bonus area with comfy couches providing an oasis for some quiet time if needed. This room includes more complimentary snacks, drinks, and an automated LaVazza machine. Daily snacks in the lobby once breakfast is cleared and fruited water & tea to refresh after coming back from your day out. Finally, “The Finest Hour” aka Happy Hour with complimentary drinks and hors d’oeuvres. I can’t say enough about the The Loutrel and it’s convenient location to everything. We look forward to returning again in the future!

My wife and I stayed at The Loutrel for our anniversary, and honestly, it's hard to find anything to complain about. This place just gets it right.

From the minute we pulled up, the staff made us feel like we were welcome, not in that rehearsed, corporate hospitality kind of way, but genuinely warm. Special shoutout to Carl the valet, who was a standout from start to finish. He took great care of the car, but what really made an impression was that he greeted us by name every single time we came back in, and had some genuinely great recommendations for getting around Charleston. Little things like that stick with you.

The room was spacious and well done, the kind of space where you walk in and just go \"okay, yeah, this is it.\" Comfortable, beautiful, nothing to nitpick.

The rooftop is worth your time. It's big, has a great vibe, and is the kind of spot where you sit down for one drink and end up staying a while. No complaints there.

Location-wise, you really can't do better in Charleston. We were walking distance from great food, great bars, and some of the most beautiful streets in the South. We barely touched the car after Carl parked it.

If you're heading to Charleston for an anniversary, a birthday, or really any special occasion, and especially if you're going as a couple, The Loutrel is the move. We'll be back.

This was our first stay at the Loutrel and it exceeded our expectations. The lobby and bar area are beautiful. We enjoyed a full complementary breakfast with delicious bacon and eggs. They also had a happy hour on the rooftop. Great views. Our room was quiet and so comfortable. Great location. We will be back.

The only thing that would have made this hotel even better is if they had a jacuzzi. Everything was top notch! Staff was amazing, food excellent.

This hotel is special! The valet parked our car (there’s no self park option) and the concierge greeted us warmly and checked us in. They offer so many complementary foods and drinks, including a welcoming cocktail, ice teas with optional flavored syrups and dried lemon, and a candy station. In the room, all snacks and drinks are complimentary. The room itself was large, beautiful and very comfortable. The bathroom had double sinks, and was also clean and spacious. We took advantage of everything, including sitting in the lounge area sipping our tea. This hotel was one of the highlights of our trip! And of course Charleston is such a special place! Highly recommend this hotel.

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)

Wonderful stay at The Loutrel. Perfect location just off the main drag but walking distance from everything. Room was spacious and really nice, staff friendly and professional, and the rooftop deck was AMAZING. The musician playing up there for sunset happy hour was a highlight of the trip. Will definitely stay again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
