Art Deco in the French Quarter, 41 rooms, and cocktail service in every room. The most theatrically charming boutique in Charleston.
The Spectator Hotel opened in 2017 on State Street in the French Quarter with a 1920s Art Deco design programme that is the most theatrically committed in Charleston. The 41 rooms offer a complimentary cocktail service — a room-service cocktail included in the rate — and are furnished with custom Donghia furniture, Carrara marble bathrooms, and the kind of design investment that a 41-room boutique can make when the rate justifies it.
The hotel's State Street location — one block from East Bay Street and the waterfront, and within walking distance of the French Quarter's antique dealers and gallery corridors — gives it the most culturally connected position in Charleston. The Spectator Bar on the ground floor is the hotel's social centre and the neighbourhood's most designed cocktail room.
The 41-room scale produces the most attentive service of any Charleston boutique: arriving to a room that has been prepared to the specifications gathered at booking, and leaving to a checkout that actually thanks you by name, are specific pleasures that the larger properties cannot reliably deliver.
The Spectator's room cocktail service, the Art Deco interiors, and the French Quarter location combine to produce an anniversary stay that is the most theatrically romantic in Charleston. The Spectator Bar's private booth configuration handles anniversary dinners for couples who want the hotel's design as the evening's frame. See all anniversary hotels →
The Spectator's 41-room scale means that the proposal arrangement — champagne, flowers, and the room cocktail with a specific addition — can be managed with individual precision. The French Quarter's cobblestone streets, the Church Street garden, and the waterfront park provide the proposal setting; the hotel provides the room that follows. See all proposal hotels →
