Even casual passersby enjoy gazing up at the handblown Moreno glass chandelier in the hotel's open lobby, clicking across the Italian marble floors, and admiring the antiques from Sotheby's. A gallery of upscale shops complete the ground floor. Rooms are furnished with period reproductions. The impeccable service is what you would expect from an Orient-Express property. A truly deluxe day spa, with an adjacent fitness room, has an inviting indoor pool illuminated by skylights. Even if you aren't staying here, stop by for high tea at the equestrian-theme Thoroughbred Club.

We recently stayed at Charleston Place for the fourth time. It is exceptional in every way. The staff is friendly and efficient, the atmosphere is outstanding, and the location could not be better. Try the "Club Level" for a truly wonderful experience. (Cold breakfast buffet - afternoon tea - cocktail hour - after dinner cordials and deserts, all included in the "Club Level" floors.) This is our favorite hotel anywhere, hands down.

my sister convinced my husband and i to spend a long weekend here oh- about six years ago. i am typically skeptical of the choices of hotels she makes since her and my brother in-law make considerably more money and can afford more. anyways this was their treat as a kind of wedding present for us. the service and whole experience was phenomenal then and still is- we've gone back every year! the spa services were amazing and the mother to be massage is something i have looked forward to getting with each of my three pregnancies. the food is excellent and we've never heard an "i can't" from any of the management or the staff. my sister is in love with the place and has made me a believer too. we've both been to a lot of hotels- worldwide, we grew up as military brats and lived in more than a dozen places growing up, and this is one of our favorites to go back too.
