Planters Inn

Beautiful downtown Charleston location. The room and bed was absolutely beautiful and comfortable. Don't miss breakfast it is off the charts delicious. Take a bike cab and support the local college students, they are great! Visit 167 Raw Bar and Fleet Landing...great casual choices, excellent food.

Good location. They charge 50$ a day for vallet parking which wasn't clear until after we valleted. There is no refrigerator in the room or available to you. The website description of the room was not clear that the one shared bathroom was in the primary room. If you had a third person in the second room, they had to use the bathroom in the primary. Although clean and good location, We felt the hotel was over priced for the value. We've stayed in nicer for less.

Beautiful small hotel. Loved the ambiance which seemed very fitting for our trip to Charleston. Location is ideal for everything. After sightseeing, it felt so nice to return to the inn through the arched walkway. Room was peaceful, beautiful. Staff is great. Don't miss having a drink in the bar with Corey and Bradley - great bartenders. Highly recommend Planters Inn.

We’ve always associated Relais & Châteaux properties with exceptional quality and attention to detail, and have loved our stays at their hotels around the world. Unfortunately, our experience at Planters Inn in Charleston fell short of those expectations. While the location is excellent and the coffee and tea station was a lovely touch, the overall style of the property feels tired and dated. We booked a room advertised as having a balcony, only to find that it was actually a shared, communal space located down the hallway—not quite the private experience we had in mind. The staff was consistently friendly and helpful, which we truly appreciated. That said, we were surprised there was no small acknowledgment of our anniversary—something we’ve always enjoyed at other Relais & Châteaux properties. It’s certainly not required, but those thoughtful gestures have always made our stays feel more special. There were also a few maintenance issues in the room that detracted from the experience. The shower drain didn’t function properly, which I only realized once I was already in the shower—a rather inconvenient surprise. Additionally, one of the pillows had a visible stain beneath the case, which, regardless of the cover, should not have been in the room. Ultimately, while there were some nice aspects to our stay, Planters Inn did not reflect the elevated standard we’ve come to expect from the Relais & Châteaux brand. On our next visit to Charleston, we’ll likely explore other options.

The hotel is beautiful, overflowing with southern charm and elegance. The staff is knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The location is central to the historic district and quiet at night. The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed. The “welcome” touches are very thoughtful.
