Charleston Place

The American South is rich in old-world charm, but perhaps nowhere more so than in Charleston, South Carolina. In this, one of the oldest cities in North America, Charleston Place is modern and luxurious, but with a style and elegance that's a throwback to a simpler time.

You'll see that elegance as you walk up the sweeping grand staircase. You'll taste it when you settle into the intimate ambiance of the Charleston Grill for a crab cake accompanied by the sounds of live jazz, and you'll feel it all over when you drop by the spa for an exotic treatment with a complicated name you'll be too relaxed to remember.

Given the nearly constantly pleasant climate, it's not surprising golf is big in these parts. Just ask your concierge for directions to one of the dozens of great courses in the area. The beaches of South Carolina are similarly popular, and just a short drive from Charleston Place. And a variety of historic sites, dating from the Civil War, and earlier, are scattered around the area.
