Southern Charm
“We loved the southern charm of Planters Inn. You feel special and taken care of as soon as you walk in the door. There is always something to drink or nibble on and every employee we had contact with was friendly and helpful. Make sure to enjoy a piece of their Coconut Cake it is spectacular.”

Perfection
“We were fortunate enough to stay 2 nights at this elegant Inn filled with old-world charm. We had a spacious room overlooking the Courtyard. When we entered the room the first thing we saw was their adorable teddy bear hugging our welcome note and birthday wishes to my husband. Every employee was friendly and helpful. Loved the macarons left for us when we returned in the evening with the best turndown service. Breakfast each morning was delicious and the waitress who served us had the most amazing smile. Can't say enough about our new home away from home while visiting Charleston.”

Authentic Charleston
"My husband and I had an amazing experience at Planter’s Inn. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm southern hospitality. The Inn has a lovely welcoming parlor were special treats that are served during the day. The Inn and the rooms were very well appointed. Our room was beautiful. It had a fireplace, veranda, and a very large bathroom with a sunken tub and an oversized walk-in shower. The rooms are decorated beautifully. Each evening at turndown macaroons are left on your pillow. We were lucky enough to meet the owner of this lovely inn after a day of exploring Charleston. He engaged us in nice conversation and made us feel right at home. Everything about this inn was well thought out. The attention to detail is obvious. The hospitality was wonderful. Thank you for all of your efforts. The team here deserves recognition."

THE BEST PLACE TO STAY IN CHARLESTON
“This was by far the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in from the staff to the room. Will be coming back; I’ve never been around so many staff that were just happy to help and enjoyable to talk with. 5 STARS.”

Wonderful, charming stay.
“We spent a long weekend in Charleston, driving down from Virginia. Looking for a good hotel felt like we were spoilt for choice. However, the excellent reviews for Planters, talking of old-world charm wrapped up in a quiet but central location. Perfect description. We were not disappointed. From the friendly welcome on a wet, stormy night, to the wonderfully appointed bedroom, it was excellent. The room was perfect. Large enough to relax in if we wanted and that lovely, huge, locally made 4-poster bed. The rest of the hotel was excellent too. Whilst we did not eat in the restaurant, the champagne bar was great with a very good selection of fizz, cocktails, and wine by the glass. A wonderfully relaxing stay in a great location surrounded by old-world charm. Just what we wanted.”

A Beautiful Choice for a Romantic Getaway
“This is an experience in itself. It's perfect for a romantic getaway. The building is historic and elegant. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated with awesome city views and luxurious. The staff is very friendly and attentive and always available. The onsite restaurant is award-winning and the famous coconut cake is a must-try. The hotel is so close to the city market, numerous restaurants, carriage rides, shopping, sports bar, and Irish Pub where we had such a great time after our food tour.”

Perfect Location and Accommodations
“If you seek total immersion in Southern charm, this should be your choice. Our rooms were enormous, as were the bathrooms. I loved the shower stall, one of the few I have encountered that did not leak onto the floor. There was even a teddy bear on our bed - a most sumptuous bed. Nice fire going in the lobby. I want to live here.”

Planters Inn
“Planters Inn on North Market Street in Charleston is an amazing and beautiful hotel. Everything here is first class and goes above and beyond to provide a memorable experience. The staff here is excellent and makes sure that everything is taken care of and that everyone has what they need. I really like the location overlooking the Charleston Market and everything on the Peninsula is within easy walking distance. My expectations were exceeded in just about every way here with a few pleasant surprises included. The Planters Inn is everything that a hotel should be. This is one of my favorite hotels in Charleston, and I look forward to visiting here in the future, and I am confident that it will be a good stay.”

True Southern Hospitality
“This was one of the best hotel experiences I have had in my life. My mother worked for the Leading Hotels of the World for the better part of my life, so high-end hotels are very normal. The service and staff at this hotel is the best I have ever experienced! The staff were extremely accommodating, helpful, and a true pleasure to deal with. We brought our 3-year-old and the hotel staff honestly could not have been better to help with our needs with having him there. It is located within walking distance of the anything you will want to see in downtown Charleston. Stay here and don't forget to eat at the Peninsula Grill!!!”

Peaceful Tranquility in Historical Charleston, SC
“We spent 4 glorious nights at the Planters Inn that included a trip to Fort Sumter, Drayton Hall and various historical homes and sites in and around the area. Our 2 room suite was located on a the 3rd floor overlooking the courtyard, very, very quiet. Our king bed was plush and comfortable too with plenty of pillows to choose. The bathroom was huge and had the greatest shower I have experienced. The two large closets provided enough room for our stay and then some. More than enough hangers and very comfortable robes too. The sitting area had a nice couch and chair to either watch one of two TVs or plan the next day’s excursions. Continental Breakfast was included each morning in the Peninsula Grill or you could order off the menu. Very nice selection of local favorites and the Continental was ample to say the least. Parking was by valet and you had 24-hour access. There were afternoon refreshments served in the parlor along with local benne wafers and each evening there were sweets and coffee too. We highly recommend staying at the Planters Inn.”

“We went for a quick weekend to Charleston and stayed at the Planters Inn. The staff, room, service, food, everything... was AMAZING.

A True Gem
“Found this charming hotel while searching for a place to stay. Was only available for our first night, but so glad we got to experience it. We know where we will be staying when we come back. Staff could not be friendlier, and a huge bonus was access to a first rate local gym a few blocks away. Location is perfect for exploring everything C-town has to offer.”

A Must Stay!
“Nothing short of fabulous. Perfectly located in the heart of downtown, we were able to walk everywhere. The outstanding front desk staff provided us with a map and tips on what we should see and do. Our room was ready well before check in, as we arrived on a morning flight. The staff was just lovely, from the front desk to housekeeping. Incredibly clean. Just a beautiful property. We loved sitting outside at night in the courtyard and sharing coffee outside our room, as there are small tables and rocking benches. You will not be disappointed!”

Beautiful Hotel, Perfect Location
“We have stayed in many hotels in the historic area of Charleston over the past 20 years. The Planters Inn is hands down our favorite. The rooms are lovely and well-appointed. Experienced, friendly and capable staff. The location is perfect for experiencing Charleston. Despite its central location, it’s very quiet with lovely secluded courtyard. Dinner at the Peninsula Grill is a must.”

A highlight of the hotel was the lounge room which offered drinks (tea, coffee, and lemonade) and snacks (fruit, cookies, delicious cheese crisps) all day. Also enjoyed the outside area with chairs and tables to sit in the evening or late afternoon.”

“Planters Inn is where you want to stay in Charleston! The rooms are beautiful, the garden path to get to your room is so lush and pretty. The staff is southern hospitality at its best... Marcus greets you like you have known him forever. His smile starts your day off right. Hard not to want to eat in the Pennisula Grill every night and if you don’t... going for the coconut cake every night is hard to resist!! My only complaint is you can’t live at the Planters Inn. Can’t wait to return. Heaven on earth!!”
