Comprised of several warehouses that date back to the 1780s; The Vendue showcases contemporary art collection in a setting with crystal chandeliers and other traditional touches. It is a stylish boutique hotel with a classy mix of old and new in Charleston’s historic district.

Pros (+) The location cannot be beat--the art throughout adds to the atmosphere of the hotel.
Cons (-) Bed too high up--I needed a stepladder to get in--the hardwood floors were shined and polished so much that I thought I would slip and fall.

Pros (+) the vendue was wonderful. the staff were firefly and helpful and the room was very comfortable and well appointed. the location was also great. if you want even more character it may be better to say in the 26 vendue building but the advantage of 19, where I stayed, was that amenities were closer.

Pros (+) The overall vibe, from the room decor to the customer service was outstanding. Everything was clean, the room was better than expected, and the whole hotel was fun to walk through and view the artwork. The customer service across the board really made the experience though. Everyone was fantastic and eager to assist!
Cons (-) Only two minor strikes. The bed was almost too comfortable. It was extremely soft and the pillows were softer. The rooftop bar was an awesome experience in the evening, however we arrived for lunch the first day and over half of the menu was unavailable at the time.
