The Restoration Hotel is bringing holiday magic back to the Lowcountry this summer with the return of its Christmas in July Suite, available for booking throughout the entire month of July.
This one-of-a-kind suite is fully transformed with festive décor that invites guests to step into a winter wonderland in the heart of the summer. Several full-sized Christmas trees, twinkle lights, and garlands fill the space, along with holiday touches such as Christmas cookies, a gingerbread house kit, and hot chocolate mix.
The suite is the only grand two-bedroom suite on the property, featuring two and a half bathrooms, a spacious living room with 17-foot ceilings, and even a private deck.
Inspired by last year’s overwhelming response from both guests and locals, The Restoration says it is once again hosting its “Unwrapping the Magic” Giveaway and inviting the community to nominate a deserving family for a complimentary two-night stay in the Christmas in July Suite.

“Last year’s campaign was incredibly moving. We hosted a military family whose dad was set to miss both Christmas and birthdays due to deployment,” said William Bennett, Operations Manager at The Restoration. “Celebrating early meant so much to them, and the response from the Charleston community was amazing. We received so many thoughtful nominations, and we’re excited to bring that joy back again this year.”
