“The location on King Street puts you in the heart of things, with the city's best boutiques and restaurants just steps away; the three intimate courtyards provide a tranquil escape from the bustle. I especially appreciate the dog-friendly accommodations and the evening sherry service-thoughtful touches that elevate the experience. A charming choice for experiencing Charleston's history.”
