    Inn's website

    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. After exploring our beautiful city, join us in the afternoon for our complimentary guest reception and before retiring for the evening, indulge in freshly baked cookies and milk. Breakfast is available each morning. 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.

    Not worth the money

    September 11, 2012

    We stayed one week in the end of June as we've read a lot of positive reviews about this Inn. Unfortunately it didn't meet any expecations. It's way overpriced and there are a lot of much better places to stay in Charleston. I can accept poor service and a lower room standarad, but not if you pay over 300/night. The staff -which seems to be coming from Easten Europe- did serve the tables as well as cleaning the rooms. Their English was very poor as well as their service and general knowledge about Charleston. The room was very old and outdated (King Suite). I would not recommend this Inn at this price!

    July 14, 2012

    I am writing to let other travelers know about what a gem the Vendue Inn, in Charleston, South Carolina. My sister, niece and I recently spent time at the inn and were very pleased with the entire experience. The staff was courteous, helpful, attentive and professional; the food was simply marvelous; the rooms were fresh, clean and well appointed and our time there was wonderful. I would recommend this gracious Inn to anyone looking for fine accommodations and great food.

    Great stay in a great town

    June 24, 2012

    Appreciated being accomodated for an early arrival. The room was spacious, and while traditional ,also had modern touches. Breakfast was fantastic with wonderful choices each day. The rooftop bar addds a whole other dimesion to a bed and breakfast and has unsurpassed views, especially of the sunset.

    A Charleston Gem

    October 19, 2011

    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!!!

    Wonderful weekend get-away

    October 10, 2011

    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.
