Review The Inn at Middleton Place, Charleston, SC

Photo Album

A recipient of the American Institute of Architects highest award, the 55-room Inn features elegantly simple and exquisitely designed guestrooms. Every evening guests are invited to the Lodge for a wine and hors d'oeuvre reception.Each of the 55 rooms at the Inn at Middleton Place is comfortable and contemporary. Handcrafted furniture, wide plantation shutters, and braided rugs evoke a feeling of the past while warm, cypress paneling, wood-burning fireplaces and 150-gallon baths add to the ambiance. Dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows bring into every room the views of area woodlands and the winding Ashley River.
Bikes are included in your stay for exploring miles of nature trails through surrounding woodlands and ancient ricefields.Once the plantation's main highway during the 18th and 19th centuries, the Ashley River is full of diverse animal and plant life. Guided kayak tours travel the Ashley River and into winding tidal creeks where wading birds, fiddler crabs, alligators and deer can be spotted.
Horseback riding is offered year round, weather permitting, through flooded rice fields, under spanish mossed drapped trees and overlooking the historic Ashley River.The Honeymoon Suite, often referred to as 151, is the only room on property with a wrap around balcony and a birds eye view of the Ashley River and marsh.  King bed, large personal fireplace and a skylighted bathroom add just the right amount of modern charm.
Guests can enjoy some hidden secrets, such as this bamboo forest at Middleton Place, while on a Carriage Ride
Horseback lessions are offered to guests and locals alike.Dinner at The Middleton Place Plantation brings together great food and great history.  Walk from your room along a lighted pathway and reflective ponds.
The Middleton Place Outdoor Center is home to many native creatures, including this Allie the Alligator showed here.  Kayaking, nature walks, educational programs and team building are just a few of the items they offer.This guest has the right idea, a book in a hammock after breakfast!
Parties of 1-200 can be hosted at Middleton Place.  Weddings, receptions, christmas gatherings and Conference services are all available.Our meeting facilities open up the outdoors.  Not all meetings need to be held within four walls........
