Its central location means you can walk to shows and easily grab a late bite or drink after. The serene rooftop terrace provides a quieter space to unwind post-concert, and the generous 12 PM check-out lets you sleep in after a late night.

Food and Drink Options

You won’t go hungry at Market Pavilion. Grill 225 serves up premium steaks and seafood alongside an extensive wine and dessert list, while the Pavilion Bar offers rooftop dining with full lunch and dinner service—perfect for pre- or post-show bites. While there's no 24/7 room service, the on-site options stay open late enough for most concert-goers. Breakfast is available for those who need a slow start after a night of dancing.

Nightlife Options

Start or end your night at the rooftop Pavilion Bar, which serves creative cocktails and offers sweeping views of Charleston. You’re also within walking distance of buzzing bars, lounges, and music spots in the French Quarter and King Street District—no ride-share needed.

What People Say

Guests rave about the spotless rooms, attentive service, and prime location near shops, restaurants, and entertainment. The rooftop pool and bar get special mentions as a standout feature for relaxing before or after a night out.

Areas for Improvement

While most guests love the luxurious vibe, some note that the upscale setting and on-site dining can be pricey—budget-conscious guests might want to plan meals accordingly. Also, the hotel’s popularity means it can be busy during weekends, so book early if you're attending a big show.

The Bottom Line

A refined, centrally located hotel that pairs Southern elegance with rooftop vibes—perfect for music fans who want to stay close to the stage without skimping on style.

Good

Liked: Very nice rooms and decor
Disliked: The coffee served was cold. When asking about a roll away or similar portable bed for extra grandkids, the response was this a luxury hotel and we don’t do that. I booked two rooms and have stayed at plenty of nice hotels that have a pull out coach or something.

Wonderful Stay but can be...

Liked: The location is unbeatable and the beds were ultra comfortable—we had the best sleep during our multi-city trip around the South! The cookies provided during turndown were absolutely delicious and a highlight to the end of the day. Housekeeping staff were very friendly and warm!
Disliked: There was no help with our luggage during check-in. There was one employee standing inside the hotel (car valet) and he stood there and watched my child and I struggle with our heavy luggage and opening the door. This is not acceptable service for a luxury hotel. Also this hotel caters more to the older crowd.
