Planter's Inn is a very pretty, well-appointed hotel. The small grounds are gorgeous and the restaurant The room we enjoyed was very comfortable and quiet until 1:00-3:00 in the morning when the bars start to close and the kids start to scream coming out of the nearby bars on each side of the street. If the city requires that visitors... More

My husband & I have stayed at the Planter's Inn on a number of occasions & have never been disappointed. The wonderful southern charm in both hotel & dinning remains constant. We enjoy the mix of young and experienced staff.

Had a 4 night visit celebrating a major anniversary so we splurged for one of the two Penthouse kings. Although the room was very well appointed and comfortable the additional size, balcony, and view of an adjacent rooftop in my view was not worth the extra expense compared to the Plantation king. We checked in Friday at 5pm and when... More

We stayed at the Planters Inn for three days in April and it was lovely!

From the moment we arrived at the property, we were blown away by the level of service. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. The location is great for sightseeing in Charleston. You must try the legendary coconut cake. The rooms are gorgeous. This is truly a 5 star property.

The staff is great. The rooms are clean and neat in both buildings. My only suggestion would be to offer decaf tea and coffee as well as the complimentary caffeine you serve in the lobby- like the Biltmore Inn does. Not a big deal though. I would definitely stay here again. The beds are so comfortable!

We stayed here one night. The hotel is well located across from the market (though I would stay a couple blocks away another time as it's a bit grubby at night). The property is very professionally run. The staff is knowledgable and helpful. Nice living room at front with beverages and snacks throughout the day. The room was very clean... More

One of the finest Inns in the South. Great service, great location, great food, and fine rooms. We were there for a business conference and the conference facility and breakfast were outstanding. A little pricey and the rooms need a coffee maker, but I'd recommend this place in a hear beat. We enjoyed it.
