Charleston SC Hotels & Restos

My wife and I are headed down in late June/early July - any recommendations on hotels in Charleston proper?

We considered a resort along the beaches (IOP and Folly) but ultimately I’d rather drive to the beach then have to drive into town for dinner/entertainment/etc.

What restaurants are can’t miss? Any good wine bars or other watering holes?

Other reccos?

TIA!

Peter, there have been a number of recent threads on this very topic. I know it would be easier to find them if there were a search function, but there is a wealth of info already collected.

I stayed at the Charleston Place. Big hotel, lots of groups, but the rooms are large and very comfortable, and it is well located. An easy walk from there all the way down to the Battery and back, which is essentially the old city

try this

I usually stay at the Market Pavillion or the Mills House.

Here is where we stayed. Great location and super spacious balcony room.
