    Inn Details

    The Vendue Inn, c. 1774, has that rare location in Charleston's old French Quarter in the heart of the historic district. Several 200+ year old warehouses were restored and lovingly renovated over the years to become the city's most charming historic inn. The Vendue Inn is perfectly situated for visitors eager to tour historic houses and gardens, museums, or wander through Charleston's many unique shops. Nestled by the beautiful Waterfront Park at the harbor, the Vendue is within easy walking distance to the Battery or the Old Market area. All 66 rooms and suites are elegantly decorated with 18th-century period furnishings, oriental rugs, antiques, four-poster, canopy or sleigh beds, art, and luxurious amenities. Enjoy the feeling of a bedroom in an historic home. A full Southern breakfast is included. All guests are pampered with excellent personal service, wine and cheese in the afternoon, cookies and milk before retiring, and evening turndown service. Join us at our popular Rooftop Resturant for spectacular sunset views. Have a delicious lunch or perhaps a glass of wine as you reflect on Charleston's famous church steeples as the sun sets over the city and clouds turn rich pink and purple colors. Be sure to join us in the Library Resturant for a dinner to rival any dining experience in town.

    My husband and I enjoyed a most perfect three night stay at the Vendue Inn. The staff was so helpful and friendly, the breakfasts and cocktail hours wonderful, and the access to bicycles, great fun. If we were to return to Charleston, we would definitely stay here again!

    We enjoyed our stay at Vendue. The accomodations were excellent and the location was good too. Be sure to try the Bananas Foster French Toast selection at breakfast. You'll order it every day after the first taste!

    The Vendue Inn was one of the best places I have ever stayed. The attention to detail, the incredible staff, the location and the food could not have been any better!!! Any question was answered with kindness, knowledge and politely. Being addressed by name and having your preferences remembered was an astonishing highlight of a lovely stay!!!

    My husband and I stayed at the Vendue Inn for 3 nights last month to celebrate our anniversary. What a perfect spot! The location is terrific - right in the heart of historic Charleston. The breakfast was fantastic - lots of choices and all of them delicious. The manager's reception in the afternoon was very nice as well. Plenty of light appetizers and a choice of wines. We used the bikes one morning and found them to be a great way to see even more of the city. Our standard queen room was very charming and just the right size with a roomy bathroom w/jetted tub. Our view left something to be desired (electric tower and parking garage), but we were mostly out enjoying the city. The staff was all very friendly and helpful. We got great restaurant recommendations from the concierge and he booked a bus tour for us that we found to be a great way to get to know more about the city. Don't miss the rooftop bar at sunset (after the manager's reception, of course!). There's a great view of the water and the city. All in all, we were very pleased with our stay and would recommend the Vendue Inn to anyone traveling to Charleston.
