Unique older building, restored to comfortable hotel, along the popular Easy Bay street. Staff was helpful, kind welcoming. Sweet little continental breakfast, made for a good start to the day in the hotel’s open entry way. Comfortable beds, room, bath. Easy walk to many Charleston iconic restaurants, museums, buildings.

Gorgeous hotel in an amazing location. Wonderful staff, and we loved how good it smelled in there! (Seriously whatever scent they’re piping into the lobby was amazing) Our only complaint was a lack of drawers in our room to put our clothes away, needing to keep our suitcases sprawled open took a little bit of the gloss away from he room.

I’ve stayed at The Palmetto Hotel twice now, and I honestly can’t imagine booking anywhere else when I visit Charleston. The location is perfect, just steps away from great restaurants and walkable to much of downtown. Despite being in a central area, it’s incredibly quiet and peaceful. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated and has a great ambiance. The bar is a nice touch and adds to the charm. Accommodations are consistently comfortable and thoughtfully maintained. Whether you’re in town for work or a weekend getaway, it hits all the marks. Highly recommend.
