Our Story

When it was built in 1986, The Charleston Place answered a call to be part of a larger, audacious vision for the city of Charleston — a catalyst for its revival and resurgence as a world class travel destination.

A Historic Hotel at Charleston

Designed to complement Charleston’s historic architecture, the hotel breathed new life into the city. Together with its restaurants, cocktail lounge, spa, and retail shops, The Charleston Place created jobs and won the hearts of locals, vacationers, corporate travelers, meeting planners, and wedding planners alike.

It’s a legacy we’re grateful to inherit.

Now, as stewards of its stories, we are called to write our own. We believe that hospitality is a transformative art — that this “place” can do more than inspire and nurture its guests, team, and partners. It can inspire an entire city, country, and world.

We can’t wait to see you.

Parking & Transportation

The Charleston Place offers valet parking only. Valet parking is $45 per night. The hotel has three electric car stations: two Tesla and one universal. For non-valet, a City of Charleston parking garage is located adjacent to the hotel, accessible from the hotel’s Meeting and Hasell Street entrances.

Charleston is a pedestrian and bicycle-friendly city. We offer free bicycle rentals to all guests.

Hop on and off the city’s free DASH shuttles. They run throughout the peninsula and offer easy access to local landmarks and attractions.
