The chef recommends the shrimp and grits at Three Oaks Grill, the Southern-style restaurant with big picture windows and exposed wooden beams.

On a street lined with shops and restaurants, and only a 20-min drive from Charleston.

From shrimp boats to kayakers to dolphins, water-gazers will be entertained.

Rooms are modern, clean and totes comfortable.

Vacation-y feel starts at the palmetto tree-lined entrance. Rooms keep the vibe going, rockin’ a killer coastal-chic ‘tude.

Right-on-the-waterfront location makes for wicked views of Charleston Harbor and the city's skyline.

Brilliantly styled interiors take cues from multiple eras, giving the place an overall timeless vibe.

Staying in this old-world gem puts ya in the mood for sightseeing. (Good thing it’s in the heart the historic district, opposite the bustling City Market.)

Fruits of a two-year renovation include updated bathrooms and flat-screen TVs. All rooms have just one bed, so plan your travel-mate situation accordingly.

Historic center gem with design-forward interiors, chandelier-laden lobby and sweet Charleston views from every room.

A combination of two historic Charleston buildings, each with their own vibe. The Enclave at The Vendue is a sanctuary of privacy enriched by exclusive amenities. The Vendue features a modern design aesthetic with a little flair. It is a hotspot of good energy, where excitement meets warmth and entertainment.

With fully outfitted guestrooms, luxury amenities from check-in to check-out, and an atmosphere of warmth and surprise, The Pinch is a touch of high culture in the Lowcountry.

Multimillion-dollar restoration revived the hotel's original 1920s elegance, including wrought-iron railings and crown molding.
