Character and identity

Tucked onto a quieter cross street in downtown Charleston, this 166-room property channels the spirit of its namesake swing dance: playful, energetic, a little theatrical. A 2017 redesign gave it a fresh identity, with room numbers etched as Charleston door knockers, "haint blue" entry ceilings, and whimsical artwork (X-rayed bowties, origami boats made from lollipop wrappers, Alice in Wonderland rabbits in the bathroom). Chef Vivian Howard anchors the food: Handy & Hot off the lobby for biscuits and hand pies, and Lenoir for a more serious southern dinner. A rooftop heated saltwater pool and a compact gym round out the amenities.

Who's it for

Best for:
Design-curious travellers who want a downtown Charleston base with personality rather than period-piece formality. It suits Marriott loyalists cashing in points, couples drawn to Howard's cooking, and multigenerational families (connecting, ADA-accessible suites are available). The hidden side-street setting appeals to anyone who wants to be central without the foot traffic.

Should look elsewhere:
Travellers wanting a full-service luxury resort experience with a proper spa, extensive dining choice, or butler-level service should book elsewhere. The gym is small, and there's no beach or substantial wellness programme on site.

Bottom line

What sets this hotel apart is the blend of Vivian Howard's cooking and a genuinely witty, well-executed design refresh, all on a quiet street in the middle of the city. Book Lenoir for at least one dinner or weekend brunch. An Executive King is the sweet spot for the artwork and space; families should ask about connecting suites.
