Our desire is that you’ll feel right at home in your luxurious Charleston retreat. Our frequent returning guests promise us that’s the case.

I mean what an amazing hotel, southern hospitality at its finest! I got there a little earlier than I anticipated my room was ready! The room was clean and had a beautiful view. You have a pillow menu if you want different pillows. They have a wine/snack time in the early evening and then cookies and milk in the evening. You get a choice of in room breakfast or going to the lobby. They have candies and free drinks (ice water and lemonade) available all the time. Its right in the middle of everything close to market St, East Bay street and not a crazy walk to King Street (for the best shopping!) if you walk through the American Gardens. I could go on and on, but I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Charleston! Thank you French Quarter Inn for a fantastic stay!

My husband and I went to Charleston to celebrate my birthday. We stayed at The French Quarter Inn. The hotel was just beautiful. We were met when we checked in by an amazing woman named Kim. She not only got us settled in but had all kinds of recommendations for us. There is always coffee and tea in the lobby as well as jars full of jelly beans and candy. We went up to our room. We booked a beautiful king room with a balcony. It was super nice and we enjoyed our coffee in the morning out there. Our room was kept immaculate. They knew it was my birthday and bought up a fabulous cake and champagne. Every need we had was met with perfection and a smile. A hot buffet breakfast is served every morning, wine and cheese and snacks late afternoon and milk and cookies at bedtime. They also have bikes at tour disposal. For a gracious stay in a beautiful hotel that is centrally located, I highly recommend The French Quarter Inn.

French Quarter Inn left nothing to be desired during our four night stay! We enjoyed It’s convenient location-within steps to City Market and walking distance to high-end shopping, activities and fine dining, (we never retrieved our vehicle from valet). Our Deluxe Terrace Suite with a fabulous private balcony overlooking city market was a great place to relax after a day enjoying Charleston, not to mention our lovely, spacious room with fireplace and marble bathroom. Fine hotel amenities include daily free canned drinking water, NOT micro plastic bottled water, and S.Pellegrino. A complimentary delicious gourmet Breakfast, served in-room (if desired), included freshly baked croissants and fresh fruit. A complimentary charcuterie hour with red and white wine-WAY more than just a board-an elegant display with gourmet crackers and bread sticks, pickles, olives, assorted spiced nuts, salamis, prosciutto, and of course, many different soft and hard cheeses. THANK YOU French Quarter Inn-your friendly and attentive staff made our stay just PERFECTION!!!

Really nice visit at this inn built in old style with modern amenities. Staff was uniformly friendly & helpful, facilities were super clean, well-decorated & maintained. Location is perfect- not too much in the thick of it, so it is quiet and somewhat secluded. Breakfast was fine. Wine time & later night cookies are a nice touch. Bikes available for guests & workout room!

It’s more of a hotel than a B&B as they offer valet parking ( for a price), luggage assistance and turn down service. They have a wine and cheese hour, as well as evening dessert and wine. There is a very nice breakfast buffet. I was happy with fruit, granola, bread and smoked salmon. My wife likes eggs and on the second day she did not like the egg dish (they are in warming trays). The staff was a bit light during the evening wine and cheese, and dessert: in walking through we did not see anyone to serve drinks. I know someone was working as each time we walked through, there were many guests with drinks. The hotel is conveniently located near many good restaurants. We recommend SNOB, named after its location: slightly north of Broad.

I am a former chef and am now a catering director at a private country club. Being extremely picky and wanting the best possible accommodations and food - we were nothing but happy with French Quarter Inn!

My wife and I stayed at the French Quarter Inn on a Monday and Tuesday evening. As our second visit to Charleston, we wanted to enjoy the Battery area history and restaurants for a couple days. French Quarter Inn was fantastic! The staff really set the stage for a memorable and rejuvenating visit. Charleston really is a unique and wonderful city, and I highly recommend the French Quarter Inn for helping us take a little of Charleston with us.
