The Ryder Hotel

Hotel · Charleston

@cntraveler

"Inspired by Jack Kerouac’s semifictional character Japhy Ryder, this Charleston hotel is all about shaking things up a bit and relishing the journey. (If you miss that undercurrent upon arrival, there’s hallway a photo of a topless woman strumming a guitar to remind you to loosen up a little.) A welcome craft cocktail, muddled to order, greets you at check-in. At the indoor/outdoor poolside venue, Little Palm, the sounds of cocktail shakers and Motown grooves keep toes tapping—whether you’re wearing flip-flops , acrylic heels, or no shoes at all. And when it’s time to wind down, the La Bottega robes, walk-in showers, and airy aesthetics in the rooms have you covered." - Allston McCrady
