A quick getaway that still feels like you went somewhere. Three nights at a 25-room boutique hotel on King Street, days for the historic streets and the Battery, and one evening on the water past Fort Sumter and under the Ravenel Bridge. Flights, hotel, and the harbor dinner arrive as one quote and one itinerary, and Charleston is nonstop from more than fifty cities.

Highlights

  • A 25-room boutique hotel on King Street, four buildings around a brick mews courtyard
  • Private balcony and coffee before the city wakes up
  • Historic streets, ironwork, pastel facades, and the Battery at low light
  • Sunset dinner cruise through Charleston Harbor
  • Nonstop flights from more than fifty cities

Day by day

  1. Day

    1

    Arrive and settle in

    Land at Charleston International, transfer to King Street, and check into your room. Walnut floors, tall windows, and a balcony that faces the late light. Dinner is a short walk away, somewhere unhurried.

  2. Day

    2

    The old city on foot

    Coffee on the balcony, then the historic district at a walking pace. Ironwork, pastel facades, hidden alleys, and the Battery when the light drops. We book the table so the evening is already handled.

  3. Day

    3

    Golden hour on the water

    A slow morning, the market or a gallery hour, then out into Charleston Harbor for dinner. You pass Fort Sumter and slide under the Ravenel Bridge with the sky going gold.

  4. Day

    4

    One more slow morning

    Breakfast, a last walk down King Street, and an easy transfer back to the airport.
