The Pinch was the perfect hotel for our vacation to Charleston. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite with a terrace and it was incredible. We brought our 3 kids and my parents and it was great. The suite was clean and the staff was great. Our kids loved the hotel. We appreciated how accommodating the hotel was for kids. I highly recommend if you have children as they are welcomed and encouraged. Thanks Pinch Staff ?

Fantastic experience from beginning to end. We arrived on an early flight and the staff were so warm and welcoming. Stored our bags and headed out with a list of great recommendations from Carrie Ellis(sp?). We were even welcomed to have breakfast even though we had not yet checked in which was so welcome after traveling. We were upgraded to an amazing suite that was like a full apartment with all amenities you could possibly need. Lowland is the restaurant at the hotel. Amazing food, cocktails, staff. Natasha, our waitress and Henry our bartender made our experience so memorable. Gave us more great recommendations which we found extremely helpful. This hotel is so centrally located; steps to anything you could possibly need or want. Bikes are super handy to get around. Highly recommend this hotel, we will be back.

Loved everything about our recent stay. The hotel is quiet with only a handful of rooms compared to the hustle and bustle of other high end and larger hotels nearby. Very thoughtful details in the rooms with kitchen amenities, washer/dryer, robe/slippers and instructions for everything. Location was great! We walked everywhere in downtown Charleston. Also appreciate that there are various room layouts to choose from. We stayed in a King studio with balcony. The Light breakfast offered in the mornings was a nice touch. Would recommend and stay again.

The Pinch was a bet that I am so glad I made! We were looking for a smaller boutique hotel for our stay in Charleston, and I booked on a whim. The location was amazing, so walkable to everything on King Street and surrounding areas. The hotel itself had beautiful interior design and thoughtful touches. We received a lovely handwritten note when we arrived, along with a delicious welcome grapefruit cocktail. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. We loved having a kitchenette to make tea at night, but could have easily made a meal there if we wanted! The bathrooms were stocked with Aesop products, which were luxe. My husband appreciated the turn down service in the evening - complete with a lavender chocolate and white noise machine! The little details is what made this place special. We would love to return. Thank you to The Pinch for making our stay in Charleston so special!

We had a wonderful stay at The Pinch for my bachelorette trip. The two bedroom suite was beautiful and provided more than enough space for gathering with my friends and family. The front desk and valet staff were always extremely pleasant and helpful. The breakfast pastries are phenomenal. We could walk from our hotel to almost all of the restaurants and activities we had booked. We definitely hope to return soon!!

We had a wonderful time at The Pinch! Centrally located to everywhere you need to and want to be downtown. It’s quaint and more a boutique style hotel, maximum occupancy is 24 rooms. The space is so comfortable. What really impressed us was the service. Housekeeping comes 2x a day to refill waters, straighten up the room and each time the attention to detail exceeded our expectations - from how they organized our luggages, laid out our slippers, re-organized things we left out on the counter - it was so thoughtful and the team truly goes above and beyond. They have a restaurant Lowland across the street that was great and if you want a bar setting to hang out at in the evenings you can go there or the the bar attached to the lobby called The Quinte. Would absolutely stay here again. Rooms were spacious and very clean. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

?????????? This Charleston hotel truly exceeded expectations. The room was spacious, beautifully appointed, and incredibly quiet—an absolute pleasure to come back to after a day exploring the city. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered, from the high-quality furnishings to the small touches that made the stay effortless and comfortable. The property is well-appointed throughout, elegant without feeling stuffy, and clearly designed with guests in mind. A wonderful stay all around, and I will definitely return!

The Pinch exceeded our expectations in every way. From the cleanliness and thoughtful turndown service - to the warm, attentive staff. Every element of our stay felt intentional and refined. Our room was quiet, with easily adjustable temperature controls, a sound machine for sleeping comfort, and freshly ground coffee that we enjoyed sipping on our balcony each morning. The free breakfast was tasty and convenient; the only small suggestion would be an option to warm the mini quiches. The onsite restaurant (Lowland) was excellent, offering outstanding food and a wonderful ambiance. The hotel’s location also made it easy to enjoy some truly great shopping nearby. The Pinch perfectly balances luxury and comfort, and we will definitely be back.

Overall, we had a great stay in the townhouse at the pinch! A few minor notes to be aware of if you are staying in the townhouse: 1. You do have to access through the front of the Lowland restaurant 2. You may hear restaurant patrons in the evening below you (sometimes it sounds like they're right outside your door due to it being an old house & sound traveling). 3. Valet did tend to take a while. However, it is a super cool place to stay in. It felt like staying in an Airbnb, but with hotel accommodations (house cleaning, valet service, etc.). It is in a great location, walkable to everything around King St.! They also provided complimentary breakfast each morning with really great food options & healthy brands! Would definitely stay again!

We had an absolutely phenomenal stay at The Pinch in downtown Charleston, and we can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, everything about this boutique hotel exceeded our expectations. Our room was incredibly spacious and beautifully appointed, complete with a full kitchen that made us feel right at home. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, blending modern luxury with Charleston’s charm. The location is a foodie’s dream! We spent our days wandering the scenic streets of downtown, indulging in Charleston’s incredible dining scene, sipping cocktails, and shopping in the charming boutiques—all just steps from the hotel. The concierge service was exceptional, going above and beyond to secure reservations at our favorite restaurants and suggesting hidden gems we hadn’t tried yet. Their recommendations elevated our culinary adventure! We also dined at Lowland, the on-property restaurant, and it was a highlight of our trip—absolutely superb food and impeccable service. The Pinch truly made our Charleston experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for a luxurious, perfectly located stay with top-notch service, this is the place to be. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
