Embassy Suites by Hilton Charleston
Embassy Suites by Hilton Charleston is a hotel in a former military building located in downtown Charleston, directly across from Marion Square. The structure features robust stone walls and contains only suite-style rooms with separate living areas, kitchenettes or wet bars, and microwaves.
The building was originally part of the Citadel Military College and was later converted into a hotel while preserving its historical architecture. This transformation allowed the institution's heritage to be maintained within its modern use.
The hotel occupies a former Citadel Military College building with distinctive stone architecture that defines the character of the location. The surrounding neighborhood with narrow streets, colorful homes with porches, and small gardens reflects early 19th-century style and continues to shape how the area looks and feels today.
The hotel is about two minutes on foot from Charleston Museum and roughly eight minutes from College of Charleston. The airport is approximately 20 minutes away, and the hotel offers transfer services for arriving guests.
All rooms are suites with separate living areas and kitchenettes rather than single rooms like typical hotels. The building also offers complimentary breakfast and hosts an evening reception with snacks and drinks for guests every day.
