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!

We arrived early and were greeted with prompt valet service. We enjoyed the pool while our room was getting ready. Great cocktails and fun atmosphere. Rooms were easy to access and the location of our hotel was nearby a lot of good places to eat and shop. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will be back.
Nicole, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location, trendy boutique hotel
NURI, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Samantha, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Great rooms and location but for the $$$ money, the rooms were very loud and you could hear everything. I would expect these to be quiet and tranquil.
Abhijit, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent location to walk to all the main attractions in Charleston.
Terri, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Love this hotel for the clean room, really great staff and the bar and pool area.
Mindy, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
Andrea, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great hotel, modern retro Beach vibes very cool
Charlotte, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Property location was excellent and convenient. It was beautifully decorated, has a wonderful restaurant on site, pool was nice and in house coffee shop was enjoyable as well. Overall, highly recommend. *More family friendly during the week; weekend was clearly a great spot for parties or adult gatherings.
