Located on the Isle of Palms near downtown Charleston, the new 153-room boutique hotel features a mix of guest rooms and suites ranging from king, double queen and one-bedroom suites, a premier spa, two dining options and a pool deck.
It was designed by the McMillan Pazdan Smith Architecture while the interiors were designed by Malcolm Berg of EoA.
The new resort hotel also offers views of the Atlantic Ocean, Lowcountry marshes, Charleston city skyline and Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge.
It also features 30,000ft2 meeting and event space, an 8,000ft2 of Osprey Ballroom & Terrace for multi-function events for up to 800 people as well as 3,000ft2 ballroom and a 6,000ft2 terrace for formal events and weddings.
