Welcome to your waterfront abode away from home. Hilton Garden Inn Charleston Waterfront offers spectacular Lowcountry views, comfy quarters and easy access to the sights, sounds and flavors found only in Charleston.
Hop on Hilton Garden Inn Charleston Waterfront's complimentary shuttle and be transported to Charleston's historic district, the location of your lunch spot! Housed in a 1940s naval building overlooking the historic harbor, Fleet Landing offers a view of Fort Sumter and a menu featuring Southern-style seafood.
Just a stone's throw from Fleet Landing, Waterfront Park masterfully combines spectacular fountains, spacious lawns, walking and jogging paths and a long pier with picnic tables and wooden swings. Stroll through the park toward The Battery and pass Rainbow Row for a photo op along the way!
Prepare for a day full of adventure! Wave hello to rescued sea turtles at the South Carolina Aquarium; climb aboard the USS Yorktown, a decommissioned aircraft carrier; explore a one-of-a-kind avian conservatory where owls, falcons and eagles are the star of the show.
Head down to the hotel lobby for breakfast at the Garden Grille, where Chef Matt Barclay, recently featured at the Charleston Wine + Food Festival, leads the culinary team in serving up refreshing plates that can be enjoyed indoors or al fresco on the outdoor patio.
Begin your waterfront adventure at Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum then head to the South Carolina Aquarium! Don't forget to check out the Sea Turtle Care Center to learn all about the rescue, rehabilitation and release of our flippered friends.
Begin with a Lowcountry brunch before diving into both Charleston history and cool waters on your final day in the Lowcountry.
Bananas: check! Caramel: check! Meringue: check! If Millers All Day's mouth-watering waffles aren't enough to get you through the door, their savory cocktails, orange glaze biscuit rolls or biscuits and gravy just might do the trick!
Embark on a Fort Sumter boat tour via the SpiritLine Cruises terminal adjacent to the South Carolina Aquarium. Learn about Charleston's rich maritime history while underway to the island garrison that played a pivotal role in the Civil War's opening bombardment on April 12, 1861.
