Planters Inn

Steeped in antebellum elegance, Planters Inn in historic downtown Charleston, South Carolina, continues to refine Southern hospitality and gentility in an increasingly harried world. White table linens and silver service remain de rigueur, whether dining at the signature Peninsula Grill, al fresco in the Garden Courtyard, or in suite. Similarly, four-poster beds, soaring ceilings, and period-inspired furnishings respect the history of these 64 unique guest rooms.

Planters Inn specializes in intimate business meetings and corporate events for up to 150 with eight indoor and outdoor event spaces from which to choose. Its ideal Market Street location provides easy access to the inner harbor, the world's second most productive harbor behind Hong Kong, as well as the City Market, art galleries, and the theater district, site of the annual Spoleto Festival.
