This luxury hotel in the heart of Charleston’s historic district is the perfect base from which to explore this fascinating southern city.

The Atmosphere

While The Charleston Place is a modern hotel, it has sufficient charm and style to not feel out of place in historic Charleston. With a perfect location within walking distance of the historic center, exceptional service and elegant rooms, it is the top pick for those looking for a luxury stay in this southern belle of a city.

The hotel recently changed hands from Belmond to becoming independently owned for the first time in its 30 year history. The fourth floor pool area with a retractable roof and fun bar area is the perfect place to relax after a morning exploring Charleston. The ground floor of the property also boasts some indulgent shopping options. If that all sounds like hard work, head to the excellent spa.

Your Room

The entire hotel, including the rooms, have undergone a recent update, with more to come next year. Muted greens and blues combine with elegant touches of Charleston inspired design and furniture. Bathrooms are large and luxurious with the premier rooms having deep soaking tubs.

Need to Know

Charleston Grill is one of the best in a city celebrated for its food scene. Expect an innovative take on local southern specialities. The more laid back Palmetto Cafe is a great spot for an al fresco lunch.
