Gayot "The Restoration on King is a luxurious boutique hotel located in the heart of Charleston's lovely historic district. Rich with heritage details, this hotel feature balconies overlooking downtown."
Zagat "Exposed brick and original wood frame the otherwise contemporary decor throughout this boutique hotel featuring posh, fully furnished apartment-style suites replete with a full kitchen."

"While rates are high, they aren’t outrageous for a small, luxury venue with only a handful of spacious rooms. Lots of little perks abound." Full review
Afar Magazine "In 2010, the Restoration on King opened with a new concept for Charleston: a small-scale luxury hotel that was contemporary boutique, not traditional B&B." Full review
Jetsetter "Hip home away from home with Southern charm and a rooftop lounge in downtown Charleston." Full review
Star Service "It is better equipped and better looking than even the top time-share properties in town (Lodge Alley and Church Street Inn)." Full review
