Hotel Emeline

Hotel Emeline exceeded all our expectations. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcome cocktail and given a thorough overview of the hotel's many amenities and the staff shared fantastic local recommendations. We stayed in a Collector's Suite, which was stunning—spacious and filled with thoughtful touches like a record player and cozy robes. We were in Charleston to celebrate our 15th anniversary, and my husband worked with the hotel in advance to plan some surprises. The team went above and beyond, arranging sweets, champagne, and breathtaking flowers (special thanks to Michelle, who personally sourced them!). Throughout our stay, the staff continually checked in to ensure we had everything we needed. They made reservations for us, contacted restaurants in advance, and delivered exceptional customer service at every turn. The lobby was beautiful, and the outdoor area was lush and inviting, complete with couches and fire pits. Each floor featured fresh fruit, still and sparkling water dispensers, a deluxe coffee machine, and a selection of teas—no detail was overlooked. Despite the luxurious amenities, the hotel maintained a cozy, boutique feel. While we didn’t use the complimentary bikes, the location was ideal for exploring the area. I cannot recommend Hotel Emeline highly enough. Our stay was so exceptional that we’d happily return to Charleston just to experience it again!

Location was wonderful! Able to walk everywhere I wanted to go in the historic district. Hotel was very classy with a boutique vibe. I was upgraded to a double level suite which sounds cool but wasn’t, at least for me, a solo female traveler. I had to lug my suitcase to the upper floor and found that in order to avoid going up and down repeatedly, I just kept everything on the upper level and never used the lower level. And secondly, as a woman alone, I realized the first evening that I wouldn’t be able to hear anyone breaking in if god forbid that happened. The perpetrator would have been standing over my bed before I would have heard anything going on! And the room door was accessible to an outdoor hallway so that did freak me out and influence my ability to relax at night. But this is more a me problem than a problem with the hotel but did want to mention it. Had I had a heads up, I would have definitely declined this upgrade. Otherwise room was nice and clean, bed and pillows were comfy, and they had Nespresso coffee in the room which was a nice touch. Would recommend this hotel.

Great location in the historic district, could walk everywhere. Rooms were big and bed was super comfy. The coffee/tea station on each floor with a sparkling water tap was a bonus!

Emeline is a beautiful hotel. The design is gorgeous, and I loved all of the added touches. The hotel staff is very friendly and accomodating.

Perfect location. Place was sold out. Booking.com actually did not forward our reservation to the hotel so we weren't in the system upon arrival. Thankfully the manager resolved this issue and we were able to check in to our room. She said this happens quite often so I suggest for future bookings on this website to perhaps call the hotel and confirm that they have your reservation. God forbid you show up to the hotel and you are not in the system.
