The Loutrel

Extraordinary. The staff and service - exceptional. The Ritz standard should be rendered to the Loutrel.

Great location, thoughtful, attentive staff and wonderful accommodations. Special thanks to Carl, the extremely friendly and helpful valet. From greeting us at arrival, to haring his knowledge of the area, to our too soon departure, Carl was there with a warm greeting and smile.

We tried this hotel for the first time and it was new & modern inside, Our room decor was nice but sadly it looked over construction, and they started the bulldozer early in the morning. We wish they had been told this was going on. Our room windows did not open for fresh air, no hooks for hanging, clothes and they could use some drawers for clothes. Finally, the shower has hardly any water pressure which was disappointing. There was a nice continental breakfast in the morning and a little happy hour in the afternoon. Perhaps with some improvements we will try another time.

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 time we came back in and had 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.

My wife and I stayed here for a three day weekend. It is a great place to stay….small and uncrowded yet with all the amenities of a larger hotel. A+ all around.

My husband and I stayed at your fabulous hotel this past weekend for his birthday and had a wonderful time! The Loutrel Hotel is such a beautiful, pleasant hotel with such charm! It’s very clean and nicely decorated. All of the staff were so kind and friendly as well as helpful, including the housekeeping staff. They were so accommodating. We really enjoyed all the complementary delicious snacks, beverages, and rooftop happy hour each day. They also offered a complementary European breakfast, which was more than we expected and quite good. They had complementary bikes available for the guests to used. Carl was so very pleasant and nice to get out bikes for us and adjust the seats each time we wanted to use them. He was always available and ready to help when we needed him. The reception desk attendants and concierge were wonderful also. The concierge was so kind to deliver a bottle of sparkling wine to our room for my husband’s birthday; a very nice and pleasant surprise! We loved our stay and will definitely return to the Loutrel the next time we visit Charleston. Thanks to all the staff for making our weekend such an enjoyable one!

Terrific stay at the loutrel. Five star service. A breakfast worth waking up for and a staff that could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Great bar, clean rooms. An all around 10/10.

Everything was great! Staff were super nice, especially Carl the valet. Breakfast was tasty and constant snacks were appreciated. Room was clean, comfortable and well-appointed.

The location was great for easy access to the water and shopping— perfect location to walk around Charleston. The rooms were lovely and the amenities included in your stay were a nice convenience. We took advantage of the rooftop terrace every night and had an evening cocktail before bed.

We are repeat visitors to the Loutrel, it is our favorite. We have been coming to Charleston for years and have stayed at several hotels, The Loutrel is by far the best. The ambiance, vibe, location…perfection. The staff is always attentive and go beyond to help make your stay memorable. Carl is always willing to help, he goes above and beyond! The breakfast is always delicious and the finest hour is a treat! We will be back soon!
