Just back from a business trip at which we had the pleasure of staying at the Market Pavilion. I have been traveling for business across The Americas and Europe for the better part of a decade and have to say that the Market Pavilion is, by some distance, the best experience I've ever had among hundreds of hotel.

The market pavillion is a beautiful hotel in the heart of Charleston, no need to rent a car. Everything is in walking distance. The rooms are amazing - immaculate, nice furniture and very large. Every morning there is a continental breakfast laid out in the hallway of each floor for the hotel guests - lots of coffee and tea. The... More

It is hard to find words to express how impressed I was with this hotel. The facilitiies - rooms and public areas were gorgeous and kept spotlessly clean. The Pavilion Bar had wonderful views and space heaters to improve comfort. Grill 225, the lobby restaurant, was about as good as it gets. This is THE place to stay when visiting... More

I met a friend for a special weekend away and we shared a double queen room on the cocierge level at the Market Pavilion. The room rate was expensive, but not bad when we split it. The room was beautiful and included a full breakfast and afternoon reception in the beautiful and comfortable parlor on the concierge (4th) floor. The... More

Charleston makes a great place for a getaway, and the Market Pavilion Hotel is a perfect place to enjoy the city. The location makes browsing for souveniers or specialty items in the Market a breeze, and the same can be said for dining at all the wonderful restaurants on East Bay Street. You don't have to drive - you just... More

This hotel is VERY expensive, but you get what you pay for - a beautiful place to stay and service fit for a king. There is a swanky rooftop bar and a great restaurant downstairs. There is a small fitness center, but the size is appropriate for a hotel of under 100 rooms. The room was beautiful, and the included... More

I came with a friend for three nights in Charleston and picked this hotel based on the location and the good reviews. The size of the hotel was just right - big enough to be full service, but small enough that guests are not just a room number to the employees. The room was well decorated and furnished with all...

This hotel is well staffed with some of the most charming and helpful staff I have ever encountered in my long years of travel. Their motto seems to come straight from the Bible - "Ask and ye shall receive." Every request was fulfilled promptly and cheerfully. I suspect the wonderful doorman was abducted from some 1940's movie about the old... More

I am thrilled you enjoyed your visit as much as you have expressed. However, we really are not a secret training base for aspiring politicians. The staff does work very hard to ensure our guests do indeed receive all they ask for and sometimes even before they ask for it. The team will be very pleased to know their efforts... More

We stayed in a corner king room on the third floor and overlooked both East Bay and Market Street. The room was oversized and wonderfully decorated and came with access to the 4th floor/conceriege level where a full breakfast and an afternoon reception are held. Everything was very clean, and the staff was very attentive. More

I was in South Carolina to visit relatives, and decided to treat ourselves to a few days in Charleston. I can only say that staying at the Market Pavilion Hotel was indeed a treat.
