Top 5-Star Hotels in Charleston

Top of the line hotel and service The top of the line check in was spectacular.

The Dewberry was fantastic. Great place to stay — very comfortable and chic accommodations! From valet to seamless check-in, they know what they’re doing and offered a Covid-safe and classy, fun experience. Location is steps away from Meeting St and all downtown bars and shops, but you don’t even have to leave the hotel to enjoy dinner or drinks in any of the popular spots built in. Valet and in-room bar are overpriced but the staff was great and for a premium, it’s worth it.

Staff at the front desk was a bit dismissive and parking costs $20/night. Breakfast not included but there’s a restaurant on site. Pros: - great location, close to attractions, restaurants, shops - Wifi works well - rooms are relatively clean however I found a few hairs here and there - rooms are spacious enough - Check-in is at 4pm officially but our room was ready at 2pm so we could check in - mini fridge in room - the hotel is nicely furnished and decorated - 24-hour fitness center - 2 complimentary bottles of water - Coffee machine in the room Cons: - staff at the front desk could’ve been friendlier - bed too soft and pillows too thick - A/C didn’t work properly—the room was either ice cold or hot

Great hotel, staff was friendly and helpful. If you are a fan of art this is your place.

The hotel is a quaint place in the heart of historic downtown Charleston. Wonderful breakfast! However, we forgot a bottle of wine we had purchased in the room and they failed to inform us even though we didn’t get our car from valet for several hours after checkout AND they identified us as the people that checked out when we picked it up. Sure, it was our fault that we forgot it but I expected a higher level of service from this hotel.

I strongly recommend this hotel in Charleston. Very comfortable and friendly. Excellent location. Good value for money, although the valet car parking service at $40 / day was steep (there are other parking facilities available nearby for less). I would return to stay at Planters each time I go to Charleston
