The location is perfect for touring the historic district by foot or carriage. A wide varierty of fine restaurants and shops are also near at hand, with an excellent restaurant in the hotel. The turn-down service sometimes leaves something to be desired, but otherwise, the staff is courteous and efficient. The rooms are conservatively but well appointed, including the public rooms. The feel of the property is that of a retreat from the bustle on the street and in the adjacent market.

Perfect location for staying in downtown Charleston; you can walk to everything. From the attentive staff to the details of the room, The Planters Inn is full of charm. It offers what you would expect from a Relais and Chateau hotel. The main building is a bit old but has been updated, the rooms are unique and occasionally an odd shape; I have stayed here many times for business. There is a newer section that is more "expected" and boasts bigger bathrooms. I usually go with the charm of the historic rooms, but it's a personal taste situation. It is a bit pricey to stay here but it is very nice!

Perfectly situated at the beginning of the Market area, and well within walking distance to most of downtown Charleston. My wife and I had a lovely time and the staff was very friendly. The staff is very friendly and knows all the best restaurants around. Found it delightful that one of the staff spoke fluent French, which was an unexpected surprise.

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay at the Planters Inn. We were treated like a royalty by the staff. Wonderful! The hotel lobby is old-world Southern charm to a T. Rooms are clean, yet not uxurious (but this may be because we had a room in the building across the way.) It was super fun to know that we just missed Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds on our visit. Tea, coffee and drinks served throughout the day in the stunning lobby. A special place
