Overview

The Spectator Hotel is located in Charleston, South Carolina, on State Street. It's one of the most popular hotels in the country because it blends Southern culture and Jazz Age attributes.

The hotel possesses several luxurious amenities. Its butlers offer personable and charismatic services like shoe shining, packing and unpacking of luggage, and coffee/tea pouring. Guests are also provided a 24-hour concierge service, complimentary in-room breakfast, and even a bicycle to borrow for a ride around the neighborhood.

There are suite, queen, and king rooms that come in sizes that range from 382 to 550 square feet. Each room contains spa-like bathrooms, countertop refreshment areas, private balconies, and other features.

This hotel's bar exudes a 1920s ambiance, and its drinks are mixed and served by cocktail expert Allen Lancaster. In addition, the bar offers a lounge area with tables and couches for guests to sit and socialize.

Because the hotel is based in Downtown Charleston, visitors have much to see and explore. For lunch or dinner, guests can stop by Hank's Seafood Restaurant or Charleston Crab House. The Historic Charleston City Market on Meeting Street combines arts and crafts and food, plus it's been in existence for over 200 years. Those who are fans of museums can visit ones like the Gibbes Museum of Art and Powder Magazine. Washington Square is a small yet relaxing park with oak trees and a model of the Washington Monument.

The Spectator Hotel is a great place in which to spend a vacation due to the fact that it mixes a historic atmosphere with a hip, modern environment.
