Kings Courtyard Inn
Overview
Charleston’s antebellum Kings Courtyard Inn is designed in the Greek Revival style with unusual Egyptian accents. Built in 1853, it is one of King Street’s oldest buildings and has served many roles in its 150-year history, from housing popular shops, to a private residence and an inn catering to plantation owners and merchants. Now restored with attention to historical and architectural accuracy, each guest room is furnished with early 19th century reproductions, high ceilings and Oriental rugs over original hardwood floors. Some of the inn’s rooms circle two inner courtyards and a rear garden. The property’s King Street location places it within easy walking distance of Charleston’s historic homes, gardens, churches and a multitude of galleries shops, and restaurants.
