Everything about this new hotel is spot on-elegant design and a sweet and attentive staff within a private refuge-despite an often busy central downtown location.

A lovely boutique hotel located in the heart of Charleston on King Street allowing you within walking distance to amazing restaurants and shops. The hotel was super quiet, room was well appointed, the bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever experienced in a hotel. The pillow, sheets and comforter made for a relaxing sleep. The ktichen had a full refrigerator, washer and dryer, oven, microwave and stovetop and a well stocked minibar. The staff was super accommodating and housekeeping kept the room spotless. Highly recommend this little gem.
