As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Well, that didn’t take long! The Loutrel was named Charleston’s top hotel as well as one of the world’s best hotels in Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards. The prestigious award was determined by the magazine’s readers, and we are so delighted that the hotel earned that recognition. Especially because this is a fairly new hotel that opened only a few years ago. It’s really not surprising once you see all that it offers. Your stay here, at one of the best hotels in South Carolina, will be one you will never forget. So, pack your travel bag and come with us for an unforgettable night at one of the best places to stay in Charleston South Carolina. 

A boutique hotel located in the heart of Charleston's infamous, historic French Quarter, The Loutrel has a simple, contemporary look.
