The inviting lobby and bar are great for relaxing, coordinating your day, enjoying a cocktail. Every person we met working there are delightful. The Palmetto is located in the middle of everything. A few blocks from Waterfront Park, and Charleston City Market and the carriage rides. The dining choices nearby are remarkable.Cannot wait to return for a longer stay.
