Tips for visiting

  • Reserve a Club Floor room for butler service and evening canapés that offset the higher room rate.
  • Book the Charleston Grill well in advance, particularly on weekends; it fills months ahead during peak season.
  • The rooftop pool area is best visited early morning before the pool deck becomes crowded in summer.
  • Valet parking rates are steep; ask the concierge about nearby self-park garages for longer stays.
  • Spring and fall bring ideal weather; summer humidity is intense and rooms feel best when retreating mid-afternoon.

When to visit

Spring (March–May) and fall (September–October) offer the most pleasant temperatures for exploring Charleston on foot. Summer is peak season with higher rates and humidity; winter sees lower occupancy and occasional promotional pricing.
