We booked Planters Inn by chance, mainly because of its Relais & Chateaux designation. Location is superb, ambiance exquisite, bedroom mattress was super, staff charming and helpful. Restaurant, rated as best in the city, surpassed its reputation for dinner. Breakfast was fairly standard. Would return, no, will return. More

Planters Inn is the only Relais & Chateaux in all of South Carolina and we take pride in being part of an elite group of hotels and inns. We are looking forward to your return and are happy to see we live up to the standards set by Relais & Chateaux. Planters Inn Management More

We received a lot of great service here, attending to a WiFi problem, helping me find an antacid at 6am, carrying bags etc. We love this place and although we were only there for one night we will definitely return for a longer stay next time. More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel in late January--at the time of the primary--for a business meeting I had to attend, and then we stayed over for an extra day in Charleston just for the two of us. This is a really lovely hotel, with very nice rooms, comfortable bed, great atmosphere and charm, and perfect location. More... More

The hotel restaurant was definitely a highlight at the Planters Inn. Perhaps I skimped on the room..a small corner with two doubles for the three of us...would recommend going for a suite if possible. Somewhat dated feel but lacking the old time amenities...a more private lounge and perhaps an honor bar would improve the relatively uninteresting lobby area immensely. Overall... More

We chose this hotel because we had a very favorable experience at the same named hotel in Savannah, GA. We found out that the hotels are not affiliated despite the same name and the same logo. After reading the reviews we had very high expectations and we were not disappointed. From the moment we pulled up in our car the... More

And we will be waiting! Our loyal customers, such as yourself, are why we do what we do. Our goal is to make every guest want to make Planters Inn their home away from . Also just to let you know every room in the historic 1844 buliding is unique. We look forward to your return and thanks for your... More

The hotel was very nice, great location, and the rooms were excellent, but i did not feel it had the quaintness or charm people spoke of and that I was looking for, nor did I feel it was worth the price. That said, the location cannot be beat. You are in the middle of the old town near lots of... More

Thank you for sharing your comments with others on Trip Advisor. Our Historic Inn was built in 1844 and is true to Charleston Charm. We do however have a building that was added in 1996 that I believe you may have stayed in, and while it has all the same furnishings, it does not have the historic relevance as the... More

I spent two days and nights for a business meeting in this charming hotel immediately across from the Market and near a bunch of great restaurants My room was very quiet even though it was on the ground floor on the street side. It must be well sound-proofed. The room was spacious and included a postered double bed, desk, sitting... More

We stayed 3 nights in a very luxurious room.. Nice seating area outside the room overlooking the beautiful courtyard with fountain. An oasis in a not so charming part of Charleston. Right next to the market, which to some would be a plus. Was very convenient for walking around the city, however. Very helpful staff - overall a wonderful stay. More
