10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was amazing. Beautiful, with a fantastic coffee shop and restaurant in the lobby. Staff was remarkable- they were always available to help and went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and appreciated. The location is unbeatable! We were in the heart of all the major sites: with almost everything we wanted to do being at less than a 10 minute walk. We barely used our car and felt like everything was super accessible. Room was clean and packed with all the essentials. Bed was super comfortable and bathroom was specious and comfortable. We would recommend and would stay here again, no doubt!!

Lovely Stay at the Emeline!

Our stay was incredibly wonderful. The staff was so kind and helpful right away, made all the amenities clear, and served a welcome drink with a cocktail. The rooms, bar, restaurant were classy and clean, great food and drinks.

Great stay!!

Wonderful! Emeline is a beautiful gem of a hotel in what is otherwise a very busy part of Charleston. It feels incredibly boutique-y despite the location. Beautiful decor and top notch service. I asked for a little “something special” for my husband’s birthday and they had champagne and chocolates in the room. Overall, such a great vibe and the people are tremendous!
