Bring your appetite to Charleston, one of the oldest and largest historical districts in the county, because whether you explore the city by foot or by boat, you're in for a treat! The tasty walking tour of downtown Charleston invites you to spend a few hours of mouthwatering fun touring the culinary side of the Holy City, learning about the history of the city as you dine at four local restaurants. Taste traditional and contemporary Lowcountry cuisine and listen to stories about Charleston's culture and cuisine from your guide, who will point out landmarks along your route.

Or relax and experience beautiful panoramic views aboard the Spirit of Carolina on a 2.5-hour luxury dinner cruise in Charleston Harbor.

Experience the charm of Charleston, from its praise-worthy dining scene to its idyllic coastal location, during your stay at the Francis Marion Hotel, the only high-rise hotel in the historic district. Named for General Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox" of the American Revolution, the hotel opened in 1924 as the largest and grandest in the Carolinas. In the 1990s, the hotel earned the esteemed National Trust Award, and it continues to inspire guests to this day, with comforts and a historic ambiance with sleek room décor reminiscent of the 1920s grandeur.

The Palmetto prides itself on providing a deeply authentic Charleston experience, boasting effortless charm, genuine warmth and upscale (but not uptight) details. Everything that makes Charleston so beloved, awaits right outside the Palmetto's doors. Situated in the historic district, within touching distance of the city's finest restaurants and bars, the boutique hotel is particular to the place in which it lives, even a bit peculiar in the way of all charming Southern eccentrics. Carefully curated original artwork by Charleston based artists from the early 1900's is juxtaposed with custom contemporary pieces.

The Elliott House Inn is Charleston's most charming historic inn. With its tranquil cobblestoned courtyard, original hardwood floors and breezy piazzas, the Elliott House Inn invites a fresh, yet historically rich Charleston experience. Once a private residence, Elliott House effortlessly pairs the comfort and intimacy of an inn with the chic style and contemporary services of a boutique hotel, delighting first-time visitors and charming returning friends. Features of a stay here include complimentary beach cruisers, a tranquil interior courtyard and the opportunity to wind down with fellow guests at the complimentary wine and cheese reception every evening of the week.
