The Pinch Charleston

This hotel is a well-designed historical building renovation. It places useful amenities (kitchen, clothes washer and dryer, multiple light dimmers) into a traditional setting with style and comfort. The kitchen has a gourmet coffee machine for those who want to conjure up their own brew and a quality bread/roll toaster. The bed was comfortable and there is plenty of storage space. In the refrigerator are two large bottles of filtered water that are replenished daily. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. No food plan was specified, but a do-it-yourself continental breakfast was available in the lobby each morning. The in-building restaurant/bar serves excellent meals using fresh local foods. A bus stop is minutes away for the free DASH shuttle service that runs through the major Charleston historic areas. It's possible to walk down to the harbor area in about a half hour.

Beautiful design led hotel, with exceptionally good service and excellent room facilities. Almost an apart-hotel as you have a kitchen and laundry facilities making it perfect for a stop off as part of a bigger trip. It’s a great central location in Charleston, just tucked away enough to be quiet. They provided lots of lovely touches, there’s a great grab and go breakfast station, a welcome cocktail, and the staff sent chocolates when I mentioned we were on our honeymoon. There is also a lovely turndown service every night and very attentive housekeeping generally - it is spotlessly clean.

Everything about this hotel from the location, staff, room size, room amenities, charm, and communication were exceptional. We booked a king and were upgraded to a one bedroom deluxe that was the size of an apartment. They texted with me in advance of my stay to communicate a road closure on the day of my arrival. They send a link for valet and my car was ready and waiting 1 minute after I indicated I needed it on the app. The room was so well appointed and being able to do laundry in room was a plus. The bar across the courtyard was outstanding.

Our stay at The Pinch was unexpected and delightful surprise. We had booked at a nearby chain hotel for the weekend and it was filthy. We quickly checked with Booking.com for an alternative and found this gem. The location was great and the room was clean and luxurious. The staff surprised us with a bottle of champagne in the refrigerator with a Happy Birthday card and gave helpful information about attractions and nearby beaches. The courtyard provided a relaxing way to start the day with breakfast & coffee or an evening nightcap by the fire. I highly recommend this hotel for your next visit to Charleston.

Beautiful property & wonderful facilities in the room. Handy location & staff helpful with directions & transport options.
