We have visited Charleston many times over the last twenty years. Our stays have included the Harborview, Market Pavilion, Renaissance, and others. This property was, beyond any doubt, our best experience. Upon arrival we were greeted by one of the excellent butler staff John Michael...More
My wife and I have been visiting Charleston since 1980 and lived in the area for 10 years. Very few of the hotels in Charleston have represented value for the dollar spent. The Spectator is an exception. We had a king room at $267/night which...More

The Spectator is a hotel where you get real value for your money. We really enjoyed all of the little extras--the drinks and snacks in the room, the fruit bowl in the lobby, and high quality toiletries. The manager's happy hour was a wonderful opportunity...More

The only luxury boutique hotel in downtown Charleston with classically-trained butlers for a premier service, both attentive and individualized. A perfectly curated combination of Historic Charleston …Morecharm and luxurious urban amenities, The Spectator Hotel is just steps away from iconic destinations and award-winning cuisines. Distinctive guest rooms and suites exude 1920s glamor, with a refreshingly modern take. Local Southern Lady Mattresses and luxurious linens offer sumptuous slumber; and a gourmet continental breakfast delivered to your door each morning. Elegance over excess, discreet service over gaudy sensation, we anticipate our guests’ desires and service their every need, so they can look and feel their very best. Less

Dear "Nryan2008",
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Providing a tip or gratuity is always appreciated in the hotel business and never expected. That said, there are some hotel positions that are more reliant on gratuities than others. These include food and beverage servers, bellmen, doormen, and valets. Resources such as TripAdvisor and Emily Post Institute provide travel/resource guides that list specific dollar amounts that are appropriate. However, feel free to be as generous as you like, if you feel that the service you have received is worthy of it. I hope this information is helpful!
Best regards,
Carlo Carroccia
Hotel Manager
We tipped daily when a service was performed because there are different butlers at various times. What was impressive was that we never felt that a tip was expected, and as a result we were more generous than we might have... More

I would suggest staying in the area of The Spectator. It is in an excellent location.. you will be within walking distance to all types of restaurants, the city market, tons of awesome shopping and will not get bored. The area offers many tours (walking, carriage and via bikes) and there is a little bit of something for everyone. My husband and I found that staying in a hotel in the city also saved a ton when it came to parking as well!
