The Charleston Place is a five-star luxury hotel situated on fabulous King Steet in the midst of world-class shopping and dining. From here, you’ll be able to walk the charming neighborhood streets of The Battery; visit Charleston City Market, where sweetgrass baskets are made; and stop in the Preservation Society shop to find a treasure handcrafted by a Lowcountry artisan. All rooms will be located on the hotel’s club level. The following amenities are included in your stay: lounge with full breakfast; afternoon tea; and private bartender, heavy hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, and after-dinner sweets in the evening.

You further agree that we are not responsible for any costs of cancellation or costs related to trip interruptions or illness such as COVID-19. Due to COVID-19, there may be limitations relating to activities. Certain services and amenities may be reduced or unavailable as a result of changing circumstances. Please know that we are working closely with our partners to plan and execute a safe baking retreat for our guests, but there is an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 when traveling.
