20 South Battery is a wonderful place to stay during your visit to Charleston. The details felt like I’d stepped into a piece of history, and you immediately feel the Southern welcome. The room was elegant, comfortable bed and windows overlooked the garden. You order breakfast the night before and it’s brought right to your door in the morning or you go to the dinning room if you prefer. Definitely a nice touch. They offer complimentary afternoon reception from 5 to 6 PM with charcuterie and non- alcoholic drinks. Everything was excellent: Perfect location, wonderful amenities, and that real Southern hospitality that made my stay feel extra pampered. Thanks.

I really loved this hotel. It felt like a true Charleston experience and the staff was amazing. The location is fabulous too. My one suggestion is I'm always bummed to see the tiny plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles in this day and age. Half the product doesn't come out and they get thrown away after a use or two, which is so wasteful. This is such an elegant hotel, I hope they transition this in their showers sometime soon. But still highly recommend!
