Learn more about hotels in Charleston

Charleston, the crown jewel of South Carolina, has an illustrious history. Founded in 1670 and named after King Charles II, it quickly became a bustling city and the hub of the Atlantic slave trade. Today, it provides a balcony view of America's past, carefully balancing its historical baggage with a lively, modern spirit.

A formidable figure in the Revolution, Charleston bravely withstood multiple British attacks. Its vibrant history reverberates through the beautifully preserved pastel-toned row houses, the cobbled lanes, and the grand churches. Add to this mix, the city's rich cultural scene marked by the construction of America's first theatre.

The city's trajectory of growth owes much to plantation agriculture which made it one of the wealthiest cities in what were then the Thirteen Colonies. That prosperity seeped into Charleston's breathtaking architecture, a fusion of Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival and Italianate styles, lending the city an inimitable charm.

When to visit Charleston

Charleston is resplendent year-round, yet the ideal time to explore this historic city is from March to May or September to November. Spring brings mild temperatures and the city bursts into colour with blooming azaleas, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll through plantations or soaking up history in the ancient streets.

Summer, while ever-bustling, comes with humidity and high temperatures, making cooling ocean dips especially appreciated. Autumn, still warm, comes painted in hues of gold and ochre, accompanied by food events that allow visitors to savour Charleston's renowned food scene.

Visiting during the off season? Expect pleasant temperatures ranging from the 50s to 60s and some of the best deals for an affordable travel adventure. No matter when you choose to visit, let Lycafly help you find the ideal hotel to bring your Charleston experience to life.
