Vendue Inn

Nestled in a row house in the historic French Quarter of Charleston, South Carolina, the Vendue Inn boutique bed and breakfast preserves the gentility of a bygone era. Built in 1783 and named for the vendue masters or auctioneers who plied their trade here 200 years ago, the inn features 66 guest rooms and suites, some with exposed brick walls and working fireplaces, each nicely appointed with period decor, boutique featherbeds, marble whirlpool tubs, telephones with voicemail, and complimentary wireless high-speed Internet.

Three conference rooms on the main floor and a 2,000-square-foot restaurant enable the Vendue Inn to accommodate business meetings and corporate events up to 30 guests. The Rooftop Bar & Restaurant makes for convivial receptions and business meetings with views of Waterfront Park and the Cooper River bridges.
