The Spa at The Restoration Charleston

"The 16 ultramodern luxury suites are more like private apartments, with exposed brick, sleek stainless steel and gorgeous spa-style bathrooms"

"While rates are high, they aren’t outrageous for a small, luxury venue with only a handful of spacious rooms"

"The Amethyst Spa and Nail Bar uses charged gemstones and essential oils in their massages and treatments, and the jewel-box rooftop pool provides refreshment on a hot day and has panoramic views"

"In the bathrooms you’ll find spa robes and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries"

"The 54 über-spacious lofts have nice perks (washers and dryers, balconies in some) and are quite inviting (hardwood floors, exposed brick)"

"Spacious rooms, sky-high wood beam ceilings, exposed ductwork, and eclectic, modern furnishings are mixed with subtle tributes to the city’s roots, like stand-alone mirrors carved in the shape of cathedral windows and a lantern in the shape of a pineapple, the city’s unofficial emblem"

"Spanish moss-draped, 200-year-old B&Bs are cool and all, but if you skew more hip and contemporary than antebellum and antique, this all-suite hipster enclave steeped in Americana arts-and-crafts kitsch is for you"

"Expansive renovations wrapped in March 2016, and the refreshed property now boasts an on-site library, spa, and rooftop terrace with a bar and pool where guests can unwind while taking in views of the historic downtown and nearby harbor"

"Stop by the high quality—and seriously tranquil—Amethyst Spa at The Restoration for manis, pedis, facials, aromatherapy, organic body scrubs, and massages"
