Aspen One, parent company of brands like Aspen Snowmass, The Little Nell, Limelight Hotels, and Aspen Collection, today announced the latest addition to its rapidly-growing Limelight Hotels brand. This new venture, set to open in 2028, will feature both a hotel and branded residential project located in Charleston.
This marks the Limelight brand’s first property on the East Coast, and it will be located at 306 King Street and 86 Society Street in the core of Charleston’s historic district, near the College of Charleston.
The 50-room Limelight Charleston will include the brand’s quintessential “living room” – a gathering place and community destination featuring programming for locals and guests alike. The mixed-use project will feature a restaurant, bar, rooftop pool and dining, meeting spaces, 16 private residences, and a parking garage.
“Expanding the Limelight brand to Charleston is a milestone moment for us, and the Limelight brand brings a differentiated experience to this historic, ever-growing, and dynamic community,” said Jeff Toscano, CEO of Aspen Hospitality. “The continued growth of Limelight Hotels in a thoughtful, intentional way brings authentic connections to the country’s most interesting and exciting destinations. Embarking on this development in such a great location within Charleston is a moment worth celebrating, especially as we continue to build a portfolio that pairs beautiful design with a sense of adventure.”
