My husband and I just returned from 4 nights at Planter’s Inn. The historic charm of the property delivered on our expectations of traditional southern hospitality. The location was perfect for easy access to the water as well as historic points of interest. The staff was polite and helpful. We can’t wait to go back!
Planters Inn is a lovely property, with friendly staff and high-quality furnishings. The location is perfect, as it's walkable to all of historic Charleston and most restaurants. To me, though, it's strange that such a premiere hotel would not have an onsite fitness facility, and the gym they have a relationship with is 1.6 miles away. Also, the room cleaning schedule is odd - it seems if you miss the window, the room is not cleaned. They do have turndown service, so someone does come by and freshen the room if the cleaning window is missed. Finally, beware of which room you choose. We were in a suite that only had one window and no window in the bedroom. I'm sure this is simply a unique limitation of a historic property, but I would request a different arrangement in the future. Overall, this is a great place, with minor flaws.
A charming hotel right in the midst of it all. The rooms were lovely with great amenities. The hotel lacks extras when compared to the larger ones - a gym, a cocktail lounge, etc. the restaurant is not open for lunch and while the concierge was great when we saw her, there was often no one at the desk and the front desk staff were less informed. Overall we liked the Inn quite a bit but will probably try something else next time.
It could not have been better. A real top-notch hotel with wonderful room, restaurants, and terrific location. Staff was all great, too. One of our best experiences anywhere in the world!!
This is a beautiful property in a great location. We were upgraded to a wonderful two bedroom suite free of charge. There was a bottle of “welcome” champagne waiting in our room when we arrived. We would love to come back and stay again!
GREAT stay and very accommodating staff made this trip truly relaxing.

Planters Inn is in a perfect location. It is within walking distance to the best restaurants and cafes in Charleston, across the street from the Market, and a quick ride to the beaches.
The hotel itself has a ton of charm, the rooms are large and the beds are very comfortable. We enjoyed the snacks and drinks throughout the day located in the front area.
Staff was was friendly and accommodating.
Lastly, the Peninsula Grill was amazing. 10/10 hotel.
