What's nearby

  • The Dock Street Theatre is Charleston's last surviving hotel from the antebellum period. The silhouette of its wrought iron balcony against the spire of St. Philip's church may be the single most photographed spot in the city. The main portion of the building was constructed around 1809 as Planter's Hotel. The hotel was built by Alexander Calder and his wife, who did so by renovating several pre-existing buildings at the site. The main entrance may not have been built until 1855 by J.W. Gamble. The hotel was used extensively by planters from the midlands of South Carolina, who traveled to Charleston during horse-racing season. It was noted for its wonderful food and drinks during this era, and the South's famous Planter's Punch may have originated here. Guests to the hotel passed through the recessed porch with brownstone columns, into the lobby, and up a grand staircase that ascended to a drawing room. While much of the interior has been altered, these elements of the antebellum hotel remain and were adapted in subsequent uses of the building. A series of additions to the hotel throughout the 19th and 20th centuries can be easily identified by differences in brick coloration. This theater is said to have been the first building built specifically for theatrical performances in America. Planter's Hotel occasionally housed one of the city's theatrical troupes, which performed at the nearby New Theatre during the mid-19th century. The most notable actor of this troupe was Junius Brutus Booth. Booth was the patriarch of an outstanding family of actors, which included John Wilkes Booth, President Lincoln's assassin. Junius Booth, who stayed at the Planter's Hotel, allegedly tried to kill his manager here in 1838. Today the Dock Street Theatre is home to the Charleston Stage Company, South Carolina's largest professional theater production company, and houses the city's Cultural Affairs office as well as The City Gallery, an exhibition space for local artists.

Parking garage directly across the street is very convenient and public transportation is at both ends of the street. Daily wine and cheese reception is very nice. The room was very comfortable, my only wish was for a microwave oven and an in room coffee maker. Coffee is available daily in the courtyard which is nice unless it’s raining, and it did.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The hotel was very quaint. Nice interior courtyard where they served coffee in the morning and wine and cheese in the afternoon. Staff was very friendly. This is an older hotel in the middle of everything. Our room had a bit of a musty smell and no way to open the windows for fresh air, but that is truly my only complaint. I would recommend this hotel if you’re looking for an authentic Charleston experience. The restaurant next door is loud with live music on the weekends but it stops at 11pm.

Older hotel with so much charm! Check in was easy. Parked in garage across the street (they forget to take the parking full sign down. Go in anyway) beautiful courtyard, roomy clean well appointed rooms. Wine and cheese in the courtyard from 5-6p. Great location. Entire French quarter is walkable. Friendly staff. Our room had it's own private patio. We stayed on ground level. No bugs. Everything is expensive there, including this hotel but it was by far the most bang for your buck! Would absolutely stay here again!

This is in a great area with loads of restaurants and shopping on the doorstep. Staff were friendly and helpful. Happy Hour was a nice touch. The property could use a bit of a refresh and I heard other guests complaining about the in-room AC units being loud or not working efficiently. We might stay again, but it’s an expensive area of Charleston for lodging and I wouldn’t call this a bargain. For us it was worth not having to drive around all weekend.
