About the Hotel: Charleston Place
Famous for its traditional Southern hospitality, Charleston Place is ranked among the “Top 10 Hotels in North America” by Conde Nast Traveler. Charleston Place is situated in the heart of Charleston and offers the perfect blend of 18th century style and 21st century comfort.
Visitors to Charleston are often artistically inspired by the antebellum architecture, intricate iron gates and centuries-old gardens of this historic city. Charleston Place is catering to both the beginner and expert artist with an Inspired Artist Kit (a portable easel, sketch paper and charcoal) they can borrow on a complimentary basis. In addition, the concierge can arrange for medium specific art supplies (oils, watercolors, pastels, etc.) to be delivered to the guest’s room.
Although completed in 1986, the décor of the hotel captures the destination experience. Guest rooms and suites feature period fabrics – opulent in substance, yet judiciously understated. Tapestries, lace, chintz and damask are chosen to provide each room with a sense of history and grandeur. Artwork by local prominent artists reflects Charleston’s ingenious architecture and diverse, multi-generational past. The guest rooms’ wood floor foyers were stenciled by the local artisan, Karl Beckwith Smith III.
The fountain at the front entrance (between Meeting and Hasell Street) is named “Quadriga.” The hotel commissioned sculptor John Mills, a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors and the Royal Society of Arts, to create a signature piece that would complement the hotel and the destination. When Mills visited Charleston, he was struck by the history and architecture with its many references to ancient Greek and Roman styles. Quadriga features a 14-foot Greek revival column in the center surrounded by four 9-foot bronze horses representing the significance of the horse in Charleston’s history, as well its present day role. At the top of the sculpture is a Carolina bird of prey, which was long ago prevalent in the Charleston Market.
- The hotel has eight floors, with the top four floors set back, giving the illusion of only a four-story building.
- In an average year, more than 8,000 pounds of chocolates will be placed on guest pillows for turndown.
- On average, the Spa at Charleston Place gives 6,000 massages a year.
- Charleston Grill’s wine cellar features more than 1,000 different labels and 7,000 bottles. The collection did not go unnoticed by Wine Spectator magazine, which awarded Charleston Grill with the only “Best of” award in the city.
- The lobby of the hotel features a hand-blown Venetian chandelier set between a Georgian open arm staircase. At 12 feet in diameter and in height, the chandelier is comprised of more than 3,000 individual pieces of glass; hand blown in Murano, Italy. It weighs approximately two and one-half tons.
- An average of 110,000 bags are carried by the hotel’s porters every year.
- Bed linens for Charleston Place are custom-made in Italy and are 440 thread count Egyptian cotton.
