Stylish Charleston charmer.
Tucked in Charleston’s historic district, The Palmetto is walking distance to the shops of King Street and the Gibbes Museum of Art. This boutique hotel is named after an iconic tree of the south and is just minutes to the Waterfront Park Pier.
Insider Tip

The spacious penthouse features floor-to-ceiling windows along with a living and dining area, a bar, and a 500 square foot balcony.

Where You’re Staying

The hotel is designed as an homage to Charleston, showcasing historic black-and-white party pictures and custom upholstery depicting iconic Low Country destinations. The 45 guest rooms feature botanical-inspired decor with leaf wallpaper and antique style furniture. Bathrooms are decorated in calming shades of pale gray with wood accents.

Where to Dine

Head to the Lobby Bar for a craft cocktail or a glass of wine. Feeling peckish? The bar also offers light bites such as charcuterie and pimento cheese platters.

Where to Relax

Unwind in the comfort and privacy of your own room or decompress in White Point Garden. If you want to break a sweat, the hotel offers access to a nearby fitness center.

What to Do

Explore Charleston on a complimentary bike and don’t miss Rainbow Row, a street full of colorful Georgian-style houses. The hotel can arrange a tour of an oyster farm as well as private yacht charters. Make time to shop along King Street and discover the South Carolina Aquarium.
