Developed by a joint venture between Kessler Meeting Street and Xenia as majority owner, the property will be managed by Kessler Collection Management.

Xenia Hotels & Resorts president and CEO Marcel Verbaas said: "We are thrilled to complete the development of the Grand Bohemian Charleston, enabling us to expand our lifestyle, boutique segment through the ownership of the premier hotel in one of the country’s top leisure destinations.
