The Palmetto, downtown Charleston’s newest hotel, is now open at 194 East Bay Street.
The Palmetto has 45 rooms complete with king-size beds. Room styles include the standard Deluxe and suite-style Premium King, some of which open onto balconies overlooking East Bay, Faber, and Cumberland streets. Also available is the Penthouse suite, with floor-to-ceiling windows revealing panoramic views of the city's skyline, plus a 500 square-foot balcony. The interior design includes palmetto-print wallpaper and local artwork on either side of the bed. Guests are encouraged to enjoy Bamford bath products, custom monogrammed robes, and plush slippers.
The Palmetto’s lobby includes a gilded cut-crystal chandelier in the shape of its namesake, a palmetto tree. Guests can lounge on vintage settees upholstered with a rare 1910s postcard print from Isle of Palms, enjoy a game of backgammon with their morning coffee, or rearrange the series of moveable ottomans and drink tables to accommodate their groups of four, six, or eight.
The Lobby Bar (open to both guests and the public) serves a menu of classic cocktails with a Charleston twist, like the passionfruit and rum-based Lowcountry Sunrise and the violet-hued Wisteria Fizz, made with locally distilled Nippitaty Aurora Gin.
