Request one that overlooks the Waterfront Park along the Cooper River.

If you ask for a room facing the harbor, you can gaze out onto the kid-friendly fountain and 8 acres of Waterfront Park.

Best choose a unit on the third floor to guarantee a water vista.
Michelin Guide "This historic district property overlooks Charleston Harbor. Low country-style guest rooms feature four-poster beds, wicker chests and seagrass rugs."
Gayot "Simple can either be stark or strikingly elegant---in the case of this hotel, its the latter. This stately brick building is well-located overlooking a pretty fountain plaza."
Jetsetter "Boutique inn with classic Charleston style just steps from the harbor and the city’s best sights." Full review

If you're looking for a little more luxury, then request the historic part of the hotel (the staff calls that location 1A).
