This is the perfect hotel if you like European, boutique, luxury hotels. It is small enough to avoid tourist groups, large enough to meet all your needs. It is perfectly located in the center of the old town right next to the City Market, yet none of the noise from the market gets in through the soundproof windows. We had... More

I am a travel consultant who booked clients into the Planters Inn for 4 nights in May. My clients are an older couple who have rather limited mobility, but who wanted to see a lot of the sites of Charleston nonetheless. Caroline Stout at the Inn was amazing with my clients. She made sure that they had everything they needed,... More

The Inn is in an 1844 building on Market Street directly opposite the Confederate museum and the Charleston markets. It is a member of the Relais & Chateaux group and therefore a high quality hotel. The arrival and departure processes were seamless, even to the extent of providing us with a fridge to enable us to cool our travel eats.... More

We choose this hotel based on reviews, and we were very happy with our choice. We had a pretty room that was clean, quiet and cool - everything we wanted in a Charleston hotel. The staff was a bit young, but they were enthusiastic. We didn't have any reason to need anything from the staff so no complaints there. I... More

Planter's Inn is a very pretty, well-appointed hotel. The small grounds are gorgeous and the restaurant The room we enjoyed was very comfortable and quiet until 1:00-3:00 in the morning when the bars start to close and the kids start to scream coming out of the nearby bars on each side of the street. If the city requires that visitors... More

Had a 4 night visit celebrating a major anniversary so we splurged for one of the two Penthouse kings. Although the room was very well appointed and comfortable the additional size, balcony, and view of an adjacent rooftop in my view was not worth the extra expense compared to the Plantation king. We checked in Friday at 5pm and when... More

From the moment we arrived at the property, we were blown away by the level of service. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. The location is great for sightseeing in Charleston. You must try the legendary coconut cake. The rooms are gorgeous. This is truly a 5 star property.
