Hotel Details

Location

On King Street in the historic district, steps from City Market and within a 10-minute walk of Waterfront Park and the Pineapple Fountain.
The inn sits on the quieter end of King Street, placing most of Charleston's historic attractions, restaurants, and shops within a comfortable walking radius. The City Market is a 3-minute stroll, Rainbow Row and the ferry to Fort Sumter are about 10 minutes away. Numerous dining options such as Husk, Poogan's Porch, and Hyman's Seafood are 0.3-0.5 km from the door. The free Charleston shuttle stop is also nearby, making it easy to reach further neighborhoods without a car. The central location means you can park once and explore the entire historic district on foot.

Wellness and Leisure

No swimming pool or spa on-site; guests have paid access to a nearby fitness centre two blocks away.

Leisure amenities on the property include a charming courtyard with fountains, outdoor furniture, and a garden - ideal for relaxing with breakfast or evening wine. Board games are available for entertainment. The location itself is the main leisure asset, placing you within walking distance of historic sites, shopping, and carriage tours.
