Our stay at The Pinch was unexpected and delightful surprise. We had booked at a nearby chain hotel for the weekend and it was filthy. We quickly checked with Booking.com for an alternative and found this gem. The location was great and the room was clean and luxurious. The staff surprised us with a bottle of champagne in the refrigerator with a Happy Birthday card and gave helpful information about attractions and nearby beaches. The courtyard provided a relaxing way to start the day with breakfast & coffee or an evening nightcap by the fire. I highly recommend this hotel for your next visit to Charleston.

The staff was amazing!! The decor throughout was beautiful. It took you back in time and had modern features tied in. The whole place had a luxurious look but still felt like you were cozied up right at home. It didn't feel like a standard hotel, you can tell a lot of care and thought went into every detail. There's also a washer and dryer in the room which was a great feature. Almost all of the lighting in our room was dimmable and perfectly placed. They even had a WHITE NOISE MACHINE!! They literally thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Andrea who works in valet, provided a curated list of local spots for us that aren't typical tourist spots but still hot spots for locals. All in all, I would absolutely recommend this place for a relaxing stay. The location is perfect and right downtown with many places within walking distance. The room we were in essentially felt sound proof, it was so peaceful. They offer a complimentary welcome cocktail upon check in and provide fresh pastries and coffee in the mornings. The patio is lush with tropical plants and graced with a roaring fireplace, perfect for and evening outdoors. When it's raining, the hotel has black umbrellas at the ready for guests coming and going. They also have complimentary bikes for your adventures around town. (Bikes are first come first serve). From the gold & brass fixtures to the plush cotton robes and handwritten note from the Manager awaiting our arrival, this place is a gorgeous modern boutique that takes you back in time while making sure you're comfy and equipped with what you need for your stay. There are other places downtown that claim to offer this type of experience but miss the mark in many ways. Some have very high price tags but have drab and colonial/historical decor and provide bare minimum. The Pinch Charleston is unmatched and has set the bar very high for other hotels in the area.

Everything was great, the sheets were a little rough and held in a lot of body heat but that was a minor thing, overall our stay was great

Overall luxurious feel, with high ceilings and perfect decor. Each room has a kitchen, very well appointed, including coffee bean grinder and drip coffee maker, stove, nice utensils. A very full bar and refridge with beverages (fee for these if used). Live plants and a few books in the room. Breakfast bar is minimal, with coffee, yogurt, a few pastries and fruit. (A little scant, we supplemented with some of our own fruit and pastry.)

The location was perfectly set in the middle of everything! Walking distance to food, entertainment and the market. The boutique vibe was super-cool! The decor was eclectic and aligned with the vintage downtown Charleston style.

The mattress was softer than I'm accustomed to but once I settled in with a pillow between my knees I was fine.

The location of the property is perfect and close to all the restaurants and shops. We love how pristinely clean it is and the design is breathtaking. The staffs are very friendly and welcoming. The Pinch is hands down our home away from home. Look no where else…BOOK THE PINCH! You won’t regret it.

Love everything about this place.

Location and atmosphere were wonderful. Staff were attentive. Bed comfy. Rooms are big and have very elegant kitchenette and bathroom.

Restaurant and bar were both closed long term so that was a bit disappointing bc no room service or on site food or drink. But they had a great honor bar and snacks in the room.

Gorgeous in every respect. Super central yet quiet, luxurious interiors and enormous room in historic setting. Step out onto the street and you’re ready to explore historic Charleston, its restaurants and shopping. Beautiful outdoor courtyard with open fireplace perfect in the evening after a busy day exploring.

Its a bit on the expensive side but the rooms are beautiful and super clean. The staff doesn’t seem to mind babies so it’s a fantastic place to stay if you have a little one attached to you. It’s not your typical hotel with a (lobby, gym, dining area, etc.) However, the location, cleanliness, and friendly staff make it a must stay when we come back.

Really trendy- great design. Friendly staff. Great location. Comfortable rooms.

Amenities were limited. Kitchen and washing machine would be nice for extended stay guests but not necessary for us.

This place was very nice. It’s still a bit in the soft opening stage of a new hotel, so they have some kinks to work out. But other than that I would overwhelmingly recommend.

It’s surprisingly hard to find a turn off to the hotel, and there are no clear directions on the website or through Google maps.
