Top Downtown Charleston Hotel Reviews

The Vendue

The Vendue

10/10 Excellent
"I had a wonderful stay at The Vendue! From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making me feel right at home. The hotel itself is full of charm—blending historic character with modern comfort in such a unique way. My room was beautifully decorated, spotless, and very comfortable, with thoughtful touches that made the stay extra special. One of the highlights was the rooftop bar, which offered incredible views and a fun atmosphere in the evenings. The location is perfect as well—right in the heart of Charleston, making it easy to walk to restaurants, shops, and the waterfront. Overall, The Vendue provided the perfect mix of hospitality, comfort, and style. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Charleston!"
