Built three centuries ago, the City of Charleston is one of the best-preserved architectural treasures in the United States. The meticulously restored colonial homes lining its charming streets are an eloquent reminder of its joyous and long history. The birthplace of the Charleston dance - made famous by Josephine Baker - the City still has all the charm that it owes to its multi-ethnic European origins. The Planters Inn is located in the very heart of Charleston famed Historic District. Originally built in 1844. The courtyard and verandas, with their ornate landscaping and fountains create an urban oasis where guests can relax to a serenade of jazz, while sipping delicious cocktails and tasting the generous regional American cuisine of the nationally-acclaimed Peninsula Grill.
