Historic King Street Location

Kings Courtyard Inn occupies one of the oldest buildings on King Street in Downtown Charleston. The property is surrounded by the Historic Charleston City Market, Gibbes Museum of Art, Citadel Square Baptist Church, and numerous historic homes. The South Carolina Aquarium and Children's Museum of the Lowcountry are one mile away.

41 Distinct Guest Rooms

The inn offers 41 guest rooms and suites with mahogany four-poster rice beds, original gas fireplaces, and hardwood floors. Room categories include Standard Rooms with shower/tub combinations, Deluxe Kings with jetted tubs, Courtyard King rooms with glass showers, Two-Bedroom Suites with privacy doors, and Parlor Suites with sleeper sofas. All rooms feature flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, and hairdryers.

Complimentary Daily Amenities

Guests receive continental breakfast with pastries, bagels, hard-boiled eggs, cereals, yogurt, and fruit served in-room or in courtyards. Evening wine and cheese receptions and sherry service are offered daily. The property provides 24-hour concierge, morning newspapers, and off-street parking at 135 Market Street for $17 per night.

Three Interior Courtyards

The hotel features three intimate courtyards with ivy-covered walls, including the Lion's Head Courtyard with a classic fountain and Tabby Courtyard framed by live oaks. These outdoor spaces serve as venues for events and daily guest relaxation.

Meeting & Event Spaces

The Blockade Runner Room accommodates up to 50 guests theater-style. Courtyards host outdoor receptions for 30 guests. Full-day meeting packages include breakfast buffets, beverage stations, boxed lunches, and afternoon refreshes at $45 per person. The property offers dog-friendly accommodations for $40 daily in limited rooms.

“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.”
