"If you want to be right in the historic district, this hotel in an old shipping warehouse is steps from the harbor, Old City Market, and Lower King Street's antique row."

Request one that overlooks the Waterfront Park along the Cooper River.

"Calming earth tones and rattan furniture soothe; four-poster beds and sea-grass rugs complete the Lowcountry look." Full review

If you ask for a room facing the harbor, you can gaze out onto the kid-friendly fountain and 8 acres of Waterfront Park.

Best choose a unit on the third floor to guarantee a water vista.

"This historic district property overlooks Charleston Harbor. Low country-style guest rooms feature four-poster beds, wicker chests and seagrass rugs."
Gayot
"Simple can either be stark or strikingly elegant---in the case of this hotel, its the latter. This stately brick building is well-located overlooking a pretty fountain plaza."
Jetsetter

If you're looking for a little more luxury, then request the historic part of the hotel (the staff calls that location 1A).
