COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT CHARLESTON HISTORIC DISTRICT, Charleston

Situated on the corner of Meeting and Calhoun Streets, the hotel is directly in the heart of downtown Charleston. The City Market is about 8 blocks (10 minutes on foot), while Upper King Street restaurants start just 2 blocks away. The South Carolina Aquarium is a 10-minute walk, and the historic Powder Magazine is less than 5 minutes by car. The cruise terminal is a 5-minute drive or 20-minute walk. For car-free sightseeing, all major downtown attractions are easily reached on foot, and nearby rentable bike kiosks offer another option. The hotel does not provide an airport transfer; ride-shares and taxis are readily available from Charleston International Airport.

All rooms feature air conditioning, a tea and coffee maker, a laptop-friendly workspace, and a flat-screen TV with streaming services. Accommodations range from standard double rooms (one or two queen beds) to suites with a separate living area, sofa bed, and kitchenette. Select rooms offer a private balcony. Some suites include a balcony and pull-out sofa. The overall room decor is modern, though some fixtures show wear. Soundproofing between rooms is limited, and road-facing rooms may be noisier. The two-queen balcony room is the same size as a standard room with a balcony added and does not include a sofa. For additional space, the one-bedroom suites provide a separate living and sleeping area.
