Kings Courtyard Inn, Hotel in den Vereinigten Staaten
Kings Courtyard Inn is a hotel in an 1853 building preserved in Greek Revival style with tall windows and decorative details. The property holds 41 rooms featuring original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a mix of historic elements such as working fireplaces alongside modern amenities like Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
The building was constructed in 1853 and served various purposes before becoming a hotel, including a sewing machine shop, church, dry cleaners, and skating rink. It is now part of Historic Hotels of America and maintains its historic character while providing modern comfort to guests.
The name references the courtyards at its center, which serve as quiet retreats for guests away from the busy street. These outdoor spaces with fountains and long-established plantings reflect how Charleston preserves intimate gathering spots within its historic downtown.
The hotel sits on King Street in the historic district and is easily walkable to shops, restaurants, and sights throughout downtown. A parking lot behind the building serves guests with cars for a fee, and pets are welcome in select rooms for a small daily charge.
The building previously served as a sewing machine shop, church, dry cleaners, and roller skating rink before becoming a hotel. This varied past makes it an unusual example of how Charleston buildings have shifted purposes throughout the city's evolution.
