HIGHLY Recommend

Having just opened in May, this gem will soon be outed as THE place to stay in Charleston. A boutique hotel with flair, eclectic yet tasteful decor in the common spaces, impeccably clean, high touch service, comfortable & well-appointed rooms, private deck overlooking the courtyard. Loved it all! Starting with our welcome drinks and ending with a lovely conversation with the valet attendant, and everything in between, it was all wonderful. We are active and don’t mind walking so being at the northern end of town was just fine for us.
