Frommer's Review
Charleston's premier hostelry, an Orient Express Property, is an eight-story landmark in the Historic District that looks like a postmodern French château. It's big-time, uptown, glossy, and urban -- at least, one former visitor, Prince Charles, thought so. Governors and prime ministers from around the world, as well as members of Fortune 500 companies, even visiting celebs such as Mel Gibson, prefer to stay here instead of at one of the more intimate B&Bs. Guest rooms are among the most spacious and handsomely furnished in town -- stately, modern, and maintained in state-of-the-art condition. This hotel represents the New South at its most confident, a stylish giant in a district of B&Bs and small converted inns. Acres of Italian marble grace the place, leading to plush guest rooms with decor inspired by colonial Carolina. The deluxe restaurant, Charleston Grill, is recommended. A cafe provides a more casual option.
Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; indoor/outdoor pool; 2 tennis courts; fitness center; health spa; sauna; room service; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
