"In the heart of Charleston ’s historic district, the low-rise edifice at 181 Church Street has lived many lives from its beginnings as a wholesale grocery store circa 1852 to its current form as a design-forward, 212-unit dog-friendly hotel named Emeline. Nowadays, dogs can experience the Charleston good life here, snug in a cozy, forest-green room with full access to the sprawling lobby, outdoor courtyard (inclusive of a fireplace and seating for Frannie & The Fox restaurant), and the Archives (a gallery that occupies most of the second floor). After booking, let the hotel know you’re bringing your dog by opting in for the Pawsome Package. It incurs a nominal fee but includes a custom-made dog treat by the hotel’s in-house pastry chef, a dog mat, a bowl, and a bed. Enjoy strolling nearby parks and green spaces like Riley Waterfront Park (home of the famed Pineapple Fountain) and The Battery; alternatively, take a half-mile walk to East Bay Dog Park for social time with fellow dogs and dog-lovers. Fees & more: $100 cleaning fee per stay. Dogs up to 100 pounds, limit two per room. No breed restrictions." - Paul Rubio
