Staff - Lobby staff were hospitable, accommodating and efficient. Housekeeping staff less so -- during our 3-night stay, we went without a hand towel in the bathroom for two of those nights. Additionally, and despite requesting one or two additional bottles of water, no extra water was left in the room. Special kudos to Allison, the in-house art curator. She was sweet and enthusiastic about her job.
Building - Yes, I understand it's an old building. That said, the floor was significantly uneven/tilted in our room, which I never got used to during the visit. The mattress and the pillows were sub-par for the amount per night charged.
We stayed at The Vendue to celebrate my wife's 65th birthday. She was enthralled with its off-beat, artsy, avant-garde theme. It's unique, that's for sure. It's also in a great location. All in all, an enjoyable time.

I am of mixed minds about this place. It was the least expensive of the centrally located hotels in Charleston. But, at $500 a night, we had some dissappoin**ents. I will say the location was great and the room spacious, clean and comfortable. We do not know what the signature scent is, that is pumped into the lobby, but it is nauseating. Spending time there was not pleasant The hotel is trying to be avant garde with expensive art and this focus seems to take precedence over guests. The staff does respond quickly when request is made, but they are not proactive. It seems chaotic at times. They do not have a central front desk to find someone always around for help. They put out coffee in the am, but no hot water for Tea drinkers. You have to ask for hot water. Our bathroom floor was not cleaned until after our 4th night. (it was clean when we arrived) Small things like not leaving some clean towels or TP when running low would not even be an issue, but for a high priced hotel.. they were noticable.

Amazing customer service, they bend over backwards to keep you happy. Lots of freebies: breakfast, fruit, lemonade, arrival beverage, mimosas, treats. Very cool art throughout both buildings. The restaurants are excellent too. You can’t get a better location. I’d definitely stay here again!

Very comfortable bed and pillows. Very interesting art. Love the champagne on arrival and the cookies at night. We didn’t eat at revival this time but I know it’s awesome. The rooftop bar has great drinks and an amazing view. We will be staying again.

The Vendue is a top notch property with unique decor, well-appointed rooms, attentive staff, and really good "goodies" such as fresh baked warm croissants and muffins delivered in the AM. Bottom line, this hotel is an absolute treat in Charleston.

In a wonderful location in the heart of Charleston's historic area, the cheerful, thoughtful staff made our weekend very special. From daily wine tastings and interesting tours of the hotel's own art gallery in the lobby, to arranging restaurants and other activities they were exceptional.
