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.

Rooms that face the street can be noisy. I was told this is because Charleston will not allow dual-pane windows to be retrofitted into the historic building. Earplugs and a white noise machine are provided. The walk-in shower has the same smooth tile floor as the bathroom. The shower floor can be slippery when wet, especially with soapy water. There is no safety grab bar in the shower.

The location was fantastic and the overall vibe and interior design of the hotel were top notch. Our room was incredible - bright, luxurious and spacious. You could really tell the level of attention to detail that went into this place. It was like being inside a magazine cover. The staff were super helpful and friendly, and even accommodated an early check-in for us when our flight arrived early. The welcome cocktail was a nice touch!

The lighting in the bathroom wasn't the best for makeup (the magnifying lighted mirror was very dim or broken at the time). The grab & go breakfast options in the lobby were limited, but with so many amazing restaurants nearby that was not a deal breaker for us.

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.

Nothing really - there’s a lovely courtyard but nowhere in the lobby or elsewhere to linger. Would be great if there was an inside area to sit and wait for taxis etc. that wasn’t right by the check in desk. That is hugely nitpicking a wonderful hotel.

I was upgraded to a suite upon my arrival. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The interior finishes are exceptional. They did not cheep out on design in the least bit. The property and the guests rooms are extremely well cared for and the entire hotel felt brand new. The lobby was quant and had a lovely outdoor seating area appointed with a fireplace and lounge furniture. Let there be no mistake, while still a boutique hotel, this is a very high end property. While I didn't use, I loved the butler's kitchen in the rooms. They were fully equipped. My in room water in the fridge was always full. The General Manager had a very polite hand written note for me with her business card and direct cell number.

For the price I would have expected a turn down service. The room was always really clean, so maybe there was one, but I didn't notice. I'm guessing there was not. Additionally, I would prefer that the window treatments were able to black out the room. Maybe I was missing something, but it is nice in the AM to not have the sunlight coming in when you want to sleep in on your vacation.

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.

Nothing, we loved everything!

Good location on the edge of the historic section of town meaning the sidewalks were less crowded and less people hawking tours etc. The staff were pleasant, helpful, well traines and professional. For those who want to prepare meals the room came with a fully equipped kitchen including: stove, refrigerator freezer, dishes, silverware, pots, pans, glasses, utensils, coffee maker, coffee grinder. The bathroom and bedroom linens were good quality and the bathroom was spacious with deep drawers for use by guests and included a very quiet washer, dryer and detergent pods. The living room kitchen space provided plenty of room to relax as well as outlets to charge electronics.

Valet parking was $47 a day at a public lot across from the hotel. It would have been nice if we were told that self-parking was available at a substantial savings ($18.00/day). The bed frame extended beyond the mattress so we kept stubbing our toes. Our room faced King Street which is busy most of the day and well into the evening hours. Happily the bedroom location muffled much of the noise. The refrigerator was stocked with a wide range of beverages and there many assorted snacks on the counter. There should have been a placard to indicate chargeable items and as well those that were gratis. Given the luxury aspect of the hotel a more generous box of tissues should be provided. This seems like a minor item but given the room rate we were surprised.

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.

The property was absolutely beautiful with incredible attention to detail in the room. They have thought of everything and it truly feels like a home away from home space in the heart of Charleston. Right in the heart of the city and surrounded by lots of restaurants, it was perfect access to everything we needed. Can’t wait to stay again!

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

Bit noisy from other guests but may have just been on that occasion. Quite expensive hotel & all food & drink in the room extra at very high prices.

The property was so darling and comfortable to stay. It’s right on King St making it easy to walk for shopping and dining. The staff was friendly and the spa treatment was amazing.

We didn’t like how loud the property was. Our room was right in the corner of King St and it was very loud outside all night, you could hear everything.
