Concierge "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.
Fodor's "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.

"Harbour View Inn is a historic landmark, and the only waterfront hotel downtown." Full review
Star Service "Across the street from Waterfront Park, next to the more florid Vendue Inn, this purpose-built, full-service hotel frequently pops up on popular lists of Charleston's Top 10 lodgings." Full review

Best choose a unit on the third floor to guarantee a water vista.
Michelin Guide "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 "Boutique inn with classic Charleston style just steps from the harbor and the city’s best sights." Full review

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

"This...property, located on busy Meeting Street, delivers more amenities than the average downtown Charleston inn, including a pool, a lounge, and free parking." Full review
Star Service "At Hasell Street, this U-shaped, three-story contemporary study is a good choice for frugal travelers who want to keep Charleston's sultry southern charm at an arm's distance." Full review
Frommer's "One block from the Historic District's market area, this three-story hotel has rooms that are better than you might expect from a motel and are likely to be discounted in the off season." Full review
Fodor's "Though the King Charles Inn was erected in 1958, the property sits on land that’s held hotels since the early 1800s." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Locals and newcomers mix at this stylishly modern boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Charleston" Full review

The retro, sunny mural helps but you might want to request an outward facing room.
Michelin Guide "Rooms are stylish, decorated mostly in white and light wood, and carefully balance visual minimalism with the warmth contributed by organic materials...urbanely sophisticated and so beachy" Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Ryder, a sophisticated boutique hotel that playfully challenges the ordinary for the adventurous and authentic travelers,” the release added"
