Renaissance Charleston Hotel

A recent renovation to the four-diamond Renaissance Charleston Hotel polished its luster, updating its 166 boutique guest rooms and suites with contemporary decor, flat-panel TVs, and connectivity panels, while retaining the hotel's historic charm. Amenities include a fitness center, outdoor pool, lobby lounge, and the Wentworth Grill, which specializes in such traditional Low Country cuisine as crab cakes, frisee salad, and grouper on white beans.

Meeting planners appreciate the horse-and-carriage ambience of the Renaissance Charleston Hotel, which offers seven event rooms and 2,759 square feet of conference space, including the 200-seat Charleston Ballroom for corporate events. The central location puts guests within easy strolling distance of Charleston's many incentives, including the City Market, Waterfront Park, and the antique shops and galleries of King Street.
