The Palmetto Hotel in Charleston SC describes itself as “a bit peculiar in the way of all charming Southern eccentrics.” Like the city of Charleston, where The Palmetto is located, this boutique hotel offers a distinctive flair. It’s the kind of flair that accompanies originality and underlies creative ingenuity.
Located in the heart of the historic district, The Palmetto provides easy access to some of Charleston’s most iconic things to do and see. A stone’s throw from Waterfront Park and just a fifteen-minute walk — along Rainbow Row no less — from The Battery, The Palmetto is perfectly located. So perfectly located, in fact, that it could easily thrive even without its compelling character and premium amenities.
A Charleston Experience
However, The Palmetto opened its doors with an intention to celebrate its location, instead of merely capitalizing on it. In short, it derives pride from “providing a deeply authentic Charleston experience.” Southern hospitality permeates every stay. As an illustration, staff is trained to put guests at ease with a warm and welcoming demeanor. Moreover, they never conflate being upscale with being uptight.
Pass through its beautiful brick exterior, and inside The Palmetto you will find curated turn-of-the-century vintage decor. This includes classic antiques to black and white party photographs to original artwork from the early 20th century. All in all, the design decisions culminate in an effortlessly chic aesthetic that feels contemporary while also nodding appreciatively toward a bygone era, much as the city of Charleston does.
All guest rooms at The Palmetto are equipped with king beds and stocked with luxury touches. This includes Bamford toiletries, plush robes, and cozy slippers. Upgraded rooms also have comfortable sitting areas and balconies, some of which overlook Charleston’s beautiful East Street. Guests seeking the ultimate Palmetto experience can reserve The Penthouse, an 800-square-foot suite with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views. Relax in a chaise lounge on The Penthouse’s 500-square-foot balcony, and watch the sun rise over the Holy City.
Diversions Within Palmetto Hotel Charleston SC
For guests who aren’t too busy being awash in wonder at the innumerable diversions feet from The Palmetto’s front door, a cocktail bar in the lobby of The Palmetto whips up craft cocktails and light Southern fare.
