Some streets just get you where you need to go, while others beg to be explored! Bay Street is one such example. Linger a while at this hot spot with other curious tourists.

If you like hearing the word "free" as much as most travelers, you'll be happy to know this public thoroughfare is just that! Bay Street is located in Historic District. To keep your travel schedule full while you're around these parts, also stop by Parris Island Museum, Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park and The Sands.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,615 reviews)
we loved the location of the hotel- so close to everything we wanted to do, but still quiet. Large lobby offered a welcoming haven after a day out and about. The on site restaurant was lovely-food delicious too! The staff was great- when we arrived there was an tech issue with card keys not being read-Staff happily walked us to our room to let us in until the issue was resolved. So glad we chose to stay at The Emmiline!

Wonderful staff, great location, excellent restaurant. The room was very spacious with higher ceilings and to our delight, two bathrooms. The view from our room was also fabulous. if you’re in town for College of Charleston the location is practically on the campus, the best.

Panini’s on the Waterfront was a great dining option—food was wonderful & we ate outside on the patio in December 26th! The waterfront park was a wonderful place to stroll or ride bikes or just people-watch. A beautiful place to take pictures!

Take advantage of the waterfront dining. Q in Bay is one of our favorites!
