20 South Battery is a wonderful place to stay during your visit to Charleston. The details felt like I’d stepped into a piece of history, and you immediately feel the Southern welcome. The room was elegant, comfortable bed and windows overlooked the garden. You order breakfast the night before and it’s brought right to your door in the morning or you go to the dinning room if you prefer. Definitely a nice touch. They offer complimentary afternoon reception from 5 to 6 PM with charcuterie and non- alcoholic drinks. Everything was excellent: Perfect location, wonderful amenities, and that real Southern hospitality that made my stay feel extra pampered. Thanks.

Harry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really loved this hotel. It felt like a true Charleston experience and the staff was amazing. The location is fabulous too. My one suggestion is I'm always bummed to see the tiny plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles in this day and age. Half the product doesn't come out and they get thrown away after a use or two, which is so wasteful. This is such an elegant hotel, I hope they transition this in their showers sometime soon. But still highly recommend!

A beautiful place, the antique furnishings are amazing felt like a museum. Everyone on the staff went out of their way to make sure that our stay was exceptional. Great location, delicious breakfast and wine and charcuterie plate every night. We definitely plan to return again.

Our stay was amazing! Everyone there was so hospitable and gracious. Breakfast every morning was delicious. The room was perfect for the two of us. It was historic, but updated and clean. The entire place is fabulous! Definitely worth the splurge for our anniversary. We will be back!

This is a remarkable, unique property in Charleston, right down on the Battery. It's a historic home that has been lovingly and beautifully restored. It is spectacular. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. If you are looking for something special, this is it.

Charleston Battery Carriage House Inn

An exemplary example of quaintness in an historic town. Rested well and awoke to a breakfast in the garden, enjoyed at my leisure with a newspaper to read. The location was surrounded by large houses seemingly from the Antebellum era.

10/10 Exceptional

So happy we stayed at 20 South Battery. The staff was outstanding. So kind, helpful and informative. Definitely went above and beyond to accommodate. The location was perfect. Just out of the heart of the busier, noisier areas but still close to everything. We loved our stay and will definitely be returning!
Kelly, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Charleston at it’s finest!!

Such a life-changing and luxurious experience! We stayed at 20 South Battery Inn for 2 nights. We were pampered and very well cared for. Wine and cheese in the evenings and a delicious breakfast as well. The staff were the kindest and friendliest ever. We took snacks with us to explore the city. Very comfortable and clean. We stepped back into the past and enjoyed a romantic weekend in beautiful Charleston. Right off the battery with an amazing view from the top floor. A must stay for a romantic weekend!
Joyous, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful property close to sites. Unfortunately a few days before arriving they had a water leak in main building so didn’t get to see that . Breakfast was sub par need to make a in house breakfast buffet or find a better venue for that . Could also used some blackout curtains in rooms for the room we were in was still bright at night . But we will give it another try on our next trip there
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our first trip to Charleston, and we decided to spend more than we usually would on a hotel in order to stay in a historic area that was walkable to most of where we'd be going. You could choose to stay here because of the location; you could choose to stay here because of the history; you could choose to stay here because of the amenities; but the reason you should choose to stay here is because of the staff. Abbi, Susan, Ryan, and Molly (we LOVE Molly) are absolutely incredible. This staff goes above and beyond expectations at every opportunity. I could list many examples of why, but the basic summary is that 20 South Battery will be the first place we'll try to book the next time we head to Charleston (without kids) again.
