Best Western King Charles Inn Hotel - Charleston South Carolina
|
|
Southern ambience emanates from this classic hotel in the heart of historic Charleston where guests step out the door and into 300 years of history. Set among some of the city’s legendary antique structures, the hotel is one mile from downtown. Reflecting the inn’s early 19th-century beginnings, each charming guestroom features a poster bed, armoire, and armchair, all in dark wood. Data ports and complimentary vanity packs, along with ginseng soaps, lend modern touches. Built where a former hotel housed Edgar Allen Poe, the inn includes antiques like the library’s grandfather clock by which guests gather nightly for complimentary wine and cheese. A white-columned terrace contains an outdoor pool.
