What made our stay exceptional, though, was the staff. They went above and beyond at every opportunity, always warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to make our visit memorable. It’s clear they take pride in delivering outstanding service. If you’re looking for a place that combines artistic flair with top-tier hospitality, The Vendue is an easy recommendation. We would absolutely stay here again.

One disappointment was the breakfast pastries included in our package. They lacked flavor, and we did not eat them on any of the days we stayed. The biggest surprise, however, was the daily amenities fee. This charge was not disclosed when we made the reservation, nor was it mentioned during check-in or check-out. In fact, we only became aware of the fee after receiving our final room bill via email. Had this charge been clearly communicated upfront, or during the checkout process when reviewing the bill on the computer with the front desk, it would have avoided an unpleasant surprise at the end of an otherwise enjoyable stay.

Worth the price. Champagne with the room which had its own fireplace. Nicest thing was we didn’t make it to the continental breakfast but someone still put a little box together of food and left it by our door. Crazy thoughtful. Great location too.

We stayed 6 days at the Vendue and staff were absolutely wonderful. Their art gallery and onsite curator was very knowledgeable about artist she drew to Vendue. The rooftop bar offers great views of the city. If you're staying in Charleston, choose Vendue . . . Harbor, Restaurants, Bars, Theatres, Orchestra all just a short walk away. Thank you for a great stay.

You have to understand Charleston is expensive. Venue is aBeautiful unique hotel... stayed across the street from the main hotel in an underground room with no windows. Five nights $2100 European size which means very very small but it was decorated to the nines. People were very nice. The Griffin bar next-door is fabulous... the main hotel has a funky bar on the roof that really doesn't fit the hotel but it's cool.,, every morning you get a little bag hung on your door with two muffins a banana and an apple. Every day exactly the same they should change it a little. Other than that there were so many great hotels in Charleston and this is one of them.

Excellent location and very reasonably priced

No windows in the room.
-
Great location, large rooms. Art on display. Nothing

You enter into an art gallery with lots of paintings, sculptures and more to look at and engage with. A very nice fine dining restaurant and a great rooftop bar/cafe. Excellent service and can walk to almost anywhere you'd want to go.
