Food and Drink Options


The Palmetto Hotel Charleston offers a continental breakfast—perfect for fueling up after a late night. While there isn’t a full-service restaurant on-site, the hotel’s bar is a cozy spot for pre-show drinks or a nightcap. Plus, you're steps from East Bay Street’s array of walkable eateries, from quick bites to upscale Southern cuisine. While there's no 24/7 room service, the location makes grabbing a post-concert meal easy.

Nightlife Options


You're right in the mix of Charleston’s vibrant nightlife. From rooftop bars with city views to live music venues tucked into historic buildings, everything is nearby. The hotel bar is a chill spot to unwind, and cocktail lounges and pubs are just a short stroll away, making it easy to keep the night going after the last encore.

What People Say

Many mention how walkable the area is, and how quiet the rooms are despite being right in the heart of downtown. Reviewers consistently highlight the cleanliness and the overall elegant yet relaxed atmosphere of the property.

Areas for Improvement


While most guests love their stay, some mention that on-site parking is a bit pricey and limited. Others note that the continental breakfast is light—so if you're looking for a hearty meal, you might want to head to one of the nearby cafés.

The perfect, romantic Charleston getaway

Liked: The hotel is absolutely beautiful, and centrally located nearby tons of restaurants and bars and little shops. It smells incredible inside the hotel, the linens were clean and fresh, and the bar/lobby area of the hotel is as picturesque as it gets.
Disliked: Nothing! Everything was absolutely wonderful.

The hotel is small but...

Liked: Breakfast was adequate as I was just eating protein. I had a hard boiled egg and yogurt w/ berries. If you are a big breakfast kind of person, you may want to eat elsewhere. They did have some nice pastries and grits w/ condiments.
Disliked: I didn't like the fact that the room did not have a luggage rack. I suppose I could have requested one. I am 72 and hate having my suitcase on the floor. Also no shower cap, but then again I am sure if I called the desk I could have gotten one.

Nice, centrally located boutique hotel

Liked: The service was awesome. Such nice people and the lobby was lovely. A nice touch was the sweet treats and beverages they sat out throughout the day.
Disliked: Our room was right above the street and looked out on a construction site so the noise was bad. The music in the lobby was obnoxiously loud on Saturday night but the staff did turn it down for us and called to make sure it was better for us.The parking garage was crappy in that they give you a daily maximum of I believe $24, but all 3 days we oaid more than $40 and there was no one there to help us!
