Description

When Planters Inn was built in 1844, it secured the best location of all Charleston hotels. Today, the iconic hotel famously presides over the corner of Market & Meeting Street — the very heart of Historic Charleston, South Carolina.

Planters Inn is South Carolina’s only Relais & Châteaux Hotel. Our historic hotel in Charleston is an oasis of beauty and gentility for guests who appreciate luxury, personal space, and added privacy.

In Charleston, S.C., the crown jewel of the dining scene is Peninsula Grill, the beguiling Four-Diamond and Four-Star restaurant hidden amidst a lush moonlit garden in the very heart of the Historic District.

Loved by locals and guests from around the world, Peninsula Grill offers a genuinely resplendent dining experience that pulls out all the stops—a spectacular setting, fresh and delicious cuisine, fantastic service that seamlessly anticipates a guest’s wants and needs, an award-winning wine list, a famous signature dessert, and one more ingredient… a bit of enchantment.
