    “My fiance' booked a room in the Market Pavilion Hotel for two nights in July 2026, and it was wonderful. The hotel has a very old world, classy and elegant vibe about it. Our room was on the fourth floor overlooking the Marketplace, it was impeccably clean and very comfortable. The in room fridge was a nice touch, as was the beautiful armoire that contained personal his and hers, terry cloth robes and slippers. The bed was extremely comfortable, and I am the worlds most finicky person when it comes to comfortable beds. We had dinner in the first floor restaurant one evening, and at the suggestion of our waiter, we tried the nitro infused cocktails that they are famous for. The entire dinner was an excellent experience. We also enjoyed time at the rooftop bar and pool. This is where we will stay whenever we return to Charleston.”

  • A great hotel in a great location.
