The Charleston Promise

Found a lower rate for the same room and dates on Expedia, Hotels.com, Booking.com, Priceline, or AirBNB? Contact us before your arrival and we will match that price — no questions asked. And as our way of saying welcome, we'll place a local Charleston surprise in your room: think Lowcountry-made treats, something from one of our favorite local makers, a little taste of the city you came to explore.

No hoops. Just reach out before arrival and we'll take care of it.

Common Questions

Yes — always. Our best available rates live on this website first. Third-party booking platforms add their own service fees and commissions, which get built into the price you see. When you book direct, you cut out that markup entirely. And if you ever spot a lower rate on a major OTA for the same room and dates, our Best Rate Guarantee means we'll match it.

Direct bookings come with a more flexible cancellation window than reservations made through Expedia, Booking.com, or similar platforms. You'll see the exact cancellation terms during checkout — and you're always welcome to call us directly if your plans are uncertain. We'd rather work something out with you than have you lose money through a third party's rigid policy.

When you book direct, we flag your reservation for flexible timing and do our best to accommodate you based on availability. It's not something we can guarantee every stay — housekeeping schedules are what they are — but direct guests get first priority.

We regularly offer seasonal packages, local experience add-ons, and Charleston-themed getaway bundles that you simply won't find on any third-party site. These change throughout the year, so the best way to see what's current is to check our booking page directly or give us a call — we're happy to match you to something special.

Beautiful Inn Near the Water

We enjoyed our long weekend at 20 South Battery. The team was so attentive and parking was a cinch - right outside, street parking was easy to find. Enjoyed especially the comfy mattress in room 11, the generous charcuterie and mocktails, breakfast in a lovely dining room, and all the history and antiques. We’ve been to Charleston 6 times and this was our favorite stay!
