"Planter's Inn is at the corner of Meeting and Market streets, in the heart of historic Charleston, South Carolina. Built in 1844 as a dry goods market, and expanded to its present form in 1997, the hotel now resembles nothing so much as an authentic Southern mansion, with the hospitality to match. Though deep in the middle of bustling downtown Charleston, Planters Inn faces inward on a quiet courtyard, complete with fountains and palm trees, and provides a moment of pastoral quiet in contrast with its urban setting." - Tablet Hotels
