The Charleston Place

10/10 Excellent

"The Charleston Place This is, without question, the best hotel I have ever stayed at. From the moment we arrived, The Charleston Place set the gold standard, not just for luxury, but for what true hospitality looks like. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, and during Christmas it transforms into something magical. It felt like stepping into the Home Alone hotel,glamorous, festive, warm, and unforgettable. I have never seen a property so beautifully decorated for the holidays. But what truly sets this place apart is the service. Samone greeted us at the door, and she welcomed us as if she had known us for years - warm, gracious, and somehow already familiar. She escorted us to the front desk where Sergio checked us in. Every interaction was polished, calm, and genuinely kind. The entire staff operates at an elite level: poised, attentive, and impeccably professional. That evening, they remembered it was my son’s birthday and surprised him with a cake waiting in our room, an incredibly thoughtful touch that meant so much to our family. Upon arrival, they asked if we needed additional pillows or towels. Later that night, turndown service included slippers placed neatly beside the bed, sheets turned down, and a bottle of water thoughtfully placed on each side. Every detail was anticipated. Every interaction felt intentional. Every moment reflected excellence. Honestly, every business, hospitality or otherwise, should study how The Charleston Place treats its g"

The Dock Street Theatre is Charleston's last surviving hotel from the antebellum period. The silhouette of its wrought iron balcony against the spire of St. Philip's church may be the single most photographed spot in the city. The main portion of the building was constructed around 1809 as Planter's Hotel. The hotel was built by Alexander Calder and his wife, who did so by renovating several pre-existing buildings at the site. The main entrance may not have been built until 1855 by J.W. Gamble.

The hotel was used extensively by planters from the midlands of South Carolina, who traveled to Charleston during horse-racing season. It was noted for its wonderful food and drinks during this era, and the South's famous Planter's Punch may have originated here. Guests to the hotel passed through the recessed porch with brownstone columns, into the lobby, and up a grand staircase that ascended to a drawing room. While much of the interior has been altered, these elements of the antebellum hotel remain and were adapted in subsequent uses of the building. A series of additions to the hotel throughout the 19th and 20th centuries can be easily identified by differences in brick coloration.

This theater is said to have been the first building built specifically for theatrical performances in America. Planter's Hotel occasionally housed one of the city's theatrical troupes, which performed at the nearby New Theatre during the mid-19th century. The most notable actor of this troupe was Junius Brutus Booth. Booth was the patriarch of an outstanding family of actors, which included John Wilkes Booth, President Lincoln's assassin. Junius Booth, who stayed at the Planter's Hotel, allegedly tried to kill his manager here in 1838. Today the Dock Street Theatre is home to the Charleston Stage Company, South Carolina's largest professional theater production company, and houses the city's Cultural Affairs office as well as The City Gallery, an exhibition space for local artists.
