CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA

the
grande dame of charleston hotels

Welcome to Planters Inn, the iconic Charleston SC hotel located in the very heart of the famed Historic District. Winner of the Travel + Leisure #1 Best U.S. Boutique Hotel Award, recognized among the Top 100 Hotels in the World, and South Carolina's only Relais & Châteaux Hotel. Where your perfect Southern getaway begins.

LEGACY & LOCATION

175 years of southern hospitality

When Planters Inn was built in 1844, it captured Charleston’s very best location—the corner of Meeting and Market streets. Today, the landmark hotel enjoys an unrivaled position in the absolute heart & soul of Charleston's stunning Historic District, and the best things to do in Charleston are a short stroll away. As a point of reference: Planters Inn overlooks the Charleston City Market, and the King Street shopping district is one block away.

STAY IN STYLE
