We have stayed here 3 times now and have truly been delighted each time. The staff is amazing! ... personable, polite, attentive, efficient, knowledgeable, frriendly ... I can't say enough. The property is beautiful (don't miss the courtyard) and the location could not be better (@ the corner of Meeting & Market). The attention to detail is impressive: from the gold wall covering in the hallways to the fire in the fireplace in the lobby to the understated elegance of the rooms to the very comfortable mattresses and the four post beds, thread count of the sheets, perfect weight of the white cotton blankets and firmness / softness of the pillows ... no detail overlooked. Also, The Penninsula Grill is without a doubt the best restaurant in town. The Oyster Stew we had as an appetizer was the best thing I've eaten in some time and the Wreckfish with Lobster and Pea Rissoto special was a close 2nd. ... We'll be back many more times !!!!!

We selected the Planters Inn due to its affiliation with Relais and Chateau. As we hoped, this was an excellent choice. Our room overlooking the beautiful courtyard was very clean and quiet, the bathroom was large, but the staff impressed us more than anything else.

Carrie who turned down our room at night was very friendly and obviously enjoyed her job. The front desk were helpful with dinner recommendations and suggested that we eat at the Peninsula Grill which was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had.

Due to TripAdvisor reviews we also tried Halls Steakhouse which didn't live up to the number 1 ranking. Food was ok, but very expensive.

The hotel is located in the middle of the historic part of town, we chose to do a carriage ride which was a lot of fun. The carriages go right by the hotel.

We would return to the Planters Inn again.

My wife and I spent a few days there in mid-December. We had a room off the courtyard. The room size was satisfactory, and included a jacuzzi tub. Bed was very comfortable. The location was great...easy walking distance to all of the downtown attractions, and just across the street from the market. Only downside was the lack of a coffee maker in the room, but coffee was available in the main inn every morning.

My husband and I spent 4 nights at the Planters Inn to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Our room(deluxe king) was delightful,,,lovely to look at,comfy bed, delicious nighttime snacks, a 4pm jacuzzi each day to ease the stress of walking, and no noise with the additional pleasure of falling to sleep to the sounds of waves and bell buoys from a machine at bedside. The staff (everyone) was courteous and friendly.The night desk manager gave me a tip for an early am walk to catch the sunrise over the harbor at the end of Vendue range...I'm an early riser(my husband sleeps in) and each am I would avail myself of the hot coffee in the lounge and head out for a walk in the peace that is Charleston at 5:30 in the morning, The Peninsula Grill had the very best food and their pomegranate margaritas cured my pinched nerve. Kudos to all at the inn and restaurant and we hope to return soon.
