The Grande Dame of Hotels in Charleston, South Carolina. When Planters Inn was built in 1844, it secured the absolute best location of all Charleston hotels. Today, the beloved Relais & Chateaux boutique hotel is known for its prominent locale at the corner of Market & Meeting streets in the heart of the Historic District. The best things to do and see in Charleston are right outside Planters Inn's door.Much more than a luxury hotel in Charleston, Planters Inn is a cultural experience that combines 19th Century splendor with modern comforts. Step inside our sanctuary of relaxed elegance to de-stress & unwind. Our historic hotel is beautiful to behold with high ceilings, silk window dressings, and premium décor reflective of the tasteful furnishings found in private residences throughout the Charleston Historic District.Experience refined Southern style in Planters Inn's spacious accommodations. Every room features a luxurious four-poster bed from Baker's Historic Charleston Collection.Planters Inn also holds a delicious secret: A hidden garden courtyard illuminated by candles and lanterns serves as the enchanting entrance to Peninsula Grill, one of the South's the most romantic dining experiences. No visit to Historic Charleston is complete without a taste of their famous 12-layer Ultimate Coconut Cake.
