The Planters Inn sets the standard in Charleston's luxury travel market. Constructed in 1844, the Inn is comprised of two buildings surrounding a lush courtyard garden. Ongoing non-obtrusive renovations since its opening have allowed the Inn to preserve its historic elegance, while incorporating some of the best new elements of technology and design. Furnishings are provided primarily by Baker Furniture's renowned Historic Charleston Collection. Each guest room features a fine handmade four poster bed from Baker, a spacious bath of Italian marble, generous floor plans, and ten-foot ceilings which, in concert, lend an atmosphere that is uniquely residential and distinctively Charleston. The Inn's location at the head of the famed open air market is literally and figuratively at the heart of the city's historic district, placing its guests within easy walking distance to the best of Charleston. The Inn is situated at North Market and Meeting Streets which, in the words of locals, is known as "Main and Main." The Inn's award-winning dining room offers local cuisine and service without equal in the city. Under the direction of Executive Chef Robert Carter, Peninsula Grill represents the keystone of culinary excellence in a city increasingly known as a top dining destination. As Peninsula Grill is equally popular with locals and visitors to the city, advance reservations are very highly recommended throughout the year.

Built three centuries ago, the city of Charleston is one of the best-preserved architectural treasures in the United States. The colonial houses lining its narrow streets are an eloquent reminder of its joyous and tormented story, like a condensed history of America. The birthplace of swing and the Charleston dance - made famous by Josephine Baker - the city still has all the charm that it owes to its multi-ethnic origins. Entering the Planters Inn, overlooking the Old City Market and the many art galleries, is like stepping back in time. On the patios full of tropical flowers and fountains, you will relax to a serenade of jazz. As well as sipping delicious cocktails and tasting the generous American cuisine, you can discover the nearby sites of Cypress Gardens, Middleton Place and other famous old cotton and tobacco plantations.

The Hotel (dating to 1844) has an ideal location for walking tours of the city. The service was excellent all around- valet, bellman, front desk, restaurant- all were friendly and accomodating. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable.

It was mine & my husband's first anniversary, and we wan't to stay somewhere nice, and romantic. We got there early Sat. and that night wanted to take a shower. The shower & tub had no running water. We reported it that night. Someone came to look, and we were told they couldn't do anything that night, but would take care it first thing in the morning. In the morning no one came, we called again, still nothing. We went down to the front desk on our way out sightseeing. (By the way I had to take a bath in the sink that morning) We were told that it would be taken care of while we were gone. We came back, still no water. Finally, they got a manager for us. We were again told it would be taken care. They did finally move us to another room late Sun afternoon, and after 24 hours we were able to take a bath. They left a note & a bottle a champaigne in the new room (which was a vast improvement), but when we checked out they charged us full price for both nights. After going around with the lady at the front desk, they finally knocked off a portion of the first night's fee. Maybe I'm wrong, but in my opinion, you should get what you pay for. I was not only upset about not being able to take a bath, but in the way the whole sitution was handled. The matter took far too long to resolve, and we should have been given the discount WITHOUT having to ask. As far as my husband & I are concerned, this does not qualify as a four star hotel.
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Plantes Inn, in a Kings Deluxe room that was so beautiful and very spacious. It capture the Charleston charm I wanted with a king four poster bed with a canopy. It was very clean, it had beautiful decor and a nice...
I stayed here once and found it to be very convenient to most all of the tourism sights. It has upscale, old world charm and modern features combined. The beds had traditional hand woven canopies. Bathroom was a long and spacious hallway style room...
We have stayed at the Planters Inn several times over the last 8 years. You can't beat the location. The rooms are big and well appointed. I like the rooms in the old building better than the new wing. The food at their restaurant is great but...
