Shop
Just steps away from Planters Inn is the historic Charleston City Market. Hop across the street and say “hello” to the talented sweetgrass basket weavers and browse through hundreds of local products, from benne wafers to local artwork to rice bead bracelets. Then, surprise your significant other with a stop at Croghan’s Jewel Box. Located just one block away on bustling King Street, this 100-year-old sparkling nook is a treasure trove of heirloom silver, estate jewelry and classic gifts.

Stroll
When booking a Planters Inn hotel suite online, guests can enjoy complimentary use of a luxurious new BMW 750i or X5 during their stay. Hop in and take a drive to Middleton Place, the placid oasis that offers an inviting step back in time, where the air is sweet with the scent of tea olives and roses, and branches of broad-trunk trees sway gently with the river breeze.

Day Three
Spa, sip & sail: three words we love to hear! Time to refresh, relax and soak up your final day in Charleston... until next time that is.

Sip & Savor
Wine time! Head to goat.sheep.cow and feel as though you’re stepping into an inviting French fromagerie. Enjoy a leisurely afternoon filled with exceptional cheese and charcuterie, and a bottle - or two - of wine, of course.

Set Sail
Set sail aboard the Schooner Pride and keep your eyes open for flippered friends in the peaceful waters of Charleston Harbor during a sunset sail. We can think of no better way to say “so long” (or “see you soon!”) to the Holy City. P.S. We won't judge if you sneak in one last slice of Ultimate Coconut Cake before you go!
