This hotel is stunning and the staff are so kind! We had our baby in tow and the bar let us take our drinks and food up to the room. Valet was so nice and the hotel is gorgeous! It’s in a great location! Will stay again for sure!

Super cute hotel. Definitely not your cookie cutter big box hotel. Every human I encountered has been coached in hospitality and has bought into the program. I had a great stay.

The Ryder Hotel was a fun stay for our anniversary weekend in Charleston. It's a great location, just a block or so away from Market St., and so many restaurants and shopping areas. The pool was a major attraction, as it's one of the few hotels in Charleston to feature one, and we definitely enjoyed it. The rooms were comfortable and felt new.

This is a charming boutique hotel that is close to everything. I booked it for the pool - a necessity during hot Charleston summers. The restaurant has nice vibes, the food was good and they offered happy hour specials & drinks. They have a fleet of very nice cruiser bikes, which are free for guests.
I highly recommend and will be back!
