Hotel Details

Location

Set in the Charleston Historic District, 300 metres from shops and restaurants, and a 10-15-minute walk from Union Pier.
The Indigo Inn is situated on Meeting Street in the heart of the Historic District, directly across from Hyman's Seafood and one block from King Street's shopping and dining. The Charleston City Market is a 2-minute walk, and many historic sites, the Aquarium, Liberty Square, and Rainbow Row are within easy walking distance (2-15 minutes). Charleston Airport is 15 km away. For travellers without a car, nearly all major attractions and restaurants are reachable on foot or by trolley tour. The property also offers private on-site parking, making it practical for those arriving by car. Guests report that the central location allows full exploration without needing a vehicle.

Accommodation

Air-conditioned double rooms with private bathroom, flat-screen TV, mini fridge, and seating area; first-floor rooms open to the atrium.
Rooms are renovated with new furnishings, flooring, and bathroom upgrades. Each unit features a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, a flat-screen TV with alarm clock, a mini fridge, ironing facilities, and a safe. Some rooms include a sofa and two chairs. The double room has two beds and carpeted floors. Rooms are arranged around a central courtyard; first-floor rooms open directly to the atrium. Beds are high off the floor - those with mobility concerns may wish to request a step stool. Road-facing rooms may experience traffic noise during busy periods; courtyard-facing rooms are quieter, especially on the third floor. The window-style AC units are functional but can be noisy; a ceiling fan is also provided. Rooms are described as clean and comfortable, with daily housekeeping. Light sleepers may prefer a courtyard-view room and should be aware of potential noise from the open atrium. Bathrooms are compact; larger guests may find the shower and toilet area tight.

Dining

Complimentary continental breakfast, evening charcuterie and wine, and late-night milk and cookies included daily.
Breakfast is served from 07:00-10:00 in the lobby and courtyard. Current offerings are a grab-and-go bag (bagels, juice, coffee) - no hot options are provided. The evening reception runs daily from 17:00-18:30, featuring a charcuterie board (cheese, crackers, fruit, chutneys) plus red and white wine, beer, and soft drinks. From 20:00, milk and fresh-baked cookies are available. Coffee, tea, and cucumber water are accessible all day. The reception is held in the lobby and can be crowded during breakfast; the courtyard provides additional seating in fair weather. The on-site offerings cover light morning and evening needs; for full meals, dozens of restaurants (Peninsula Grill, FIG, Hank's Seafood, and others) are within a 2-3-minute walk.

Wellness and Leisure

A furnished courtyard garden with a working fountain provides outdoor relaxation.
The central courtyard is a shaded, furnished outdoor space with a fountain, plants, and seating - ideal for breakfast, happy hour, or quiet reading. The garden is a key leisure feature, though users report occasional damp or humidity-related smells. There is no swimming pool, spa, or gym on site. The hotel is a 10-15-minute walk from the waterfront and Battery Park. No additional wellness or leisure amenities are confirmed.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a courtyard-view room on a higher floor for a quieter stay and to minimise noise from the open atrium.

  • 02

    Use the hotel's luggage storage if you arrive before check-in or need to explore after checkout.

  • 03

    Consider arriving early (from 11:00) to park and then explore the city before check-in at 15:00.

  • 04

    Rely on walking or the free trolley for city touring - the hotel's central location makes a car unnecessary for most activities.
