8.8/10 Excellent! (1,738 reviews)

While looking for a place to stay in Charleston, this hotel had great reviews. I am sure it is great for most of it's guests, but that was not our experience. We did not have cold water in the shower and when we inquired about it, was told there was an issue with the water. No big deal, but it also happened to be an extremely hot week so not having cooler water in the shower was not ideal. There was also an issue with the A/C. Our room would not cool down and instead of being able to move rooms, we were given a box fan - which only moved the warm air around. With it being so hot not only while we were out enjoying Charleston, but when we got back to the hotel room, we cut our trip short and only stayed the first night. The staff did apologize when we checked out. Perhaps if it had not been so hot our experience would have been better.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,011 reviews)

This was a lovely property with a nice, large room with kitchenette and big bathroom. There were no VIP perks or even knowledge of it so it really should not be a VIP property. Breakfast basket was nice and varied each morning. Wonderful coffee shop attached. Nice rooftop pool for a quick cool off. Wonderful location with proximity to King Street and College of Charleston.

Gibbes Museum of Art

4.5/5(11 reviews)

Browse the collection of this visual arts museum, set in Charleston’s Historic District. Its detailed Beaux Arts style makes it as impressive outside as inside.

The Old Powder Magazine is the only public building remaining from the era of the Lords Proprietors, the eight English aristocrats who owned Carolina from 1670 to 1719.

Charles Town, as the capital and southernmost English settlement on the continent, was strategically important. The town was repeatedly attacked by pirates, marauding Spanish naval vessels, and Indians. Along with the high walls and a moat that surrounded Charles Town, the Powder Magazine, as the principal storehouse of munitions and gunpowder, was crucial for the defense of the city.

St. Philip's Church

Attend a service with the oldest religious congregation in South Carolina, dating back to the 17th century. George Washington worshipped with this congregation.

The Dock Street Theatre is Charleston's last surviving hotel from the antebellum period. The silhouette of its wrought iron balcony against the spire of St. Philip's church may be the single most photographed spot in the city. The main portion of the building was constructed around 1809 as Planter's Hotel. The hotel was built by Alexander Calder and his wife, who did so by renovating several pre-existing buildings at the site. The main entrance may not have been built until 1855 by J.W. Gamble.

The hotel was used extensively by planters from the midlands of South Carolina, who traveled to Charleston during horse-racing season. It was noted for its wonderful food and drinks during this era, and the South's famous Planter's Punch may have originated here. Guests to the hotel passed through the recessed porch with brownstone columns, into the lobby, and up a grand staircase that ascended to a drawing room. While much of the interior has been altered, these elements of the antebellum hotel remain and were adapted in subsequent uses of the building. A series of additions to the hotel throughout the 19th and 20th centuries can be easily identified by differences in brick coloration.

This theater is said to have been the first building built specifically for theatrical performances in America. Planter's Hotel occasionally housed one of the city's theatrical troupes, which performed at the nearby New Theatre during the mid-19th century. The most notable actor of this troupe was Junius Brutus Booth. Booth was the patriarch of an outstanding family of actors, which included John Wilkes Booth, President Lincoln's assassin. Junius Booth, who stayed at the Planter's Hotel, allegedly tried to kill his manager here in 1838. Today the Dock Street Theatre is home to the Charleston Stage Company, South Carolina's largest professional theater production company, and houses the city's Cultural Affairs office as well as The City Gallery, an exhibition space for local artists.
