Luxury Charleston Hotel The Palmetto Prepares to Open its Doors March 2023

Charleston, SC (February 20, 2023) – Luxury boutique hotel, The Palmetto, is rapidly approaching completion and is officially slated to open its doors at 194 East Bay downtown this March. The Palmetto, home to 45 premier rooms, is designed to provide a deeply authentic Charleston experience that is particular to the place in which it resides – mere steps from the city’s finest restaurants and bars – and reflective of the charming eccentricities artfully layered into southern hospitality. Situated in the heart of Charleston’s historic French Quarter, the property signifies the first foray into the thriving southern market for Dreamscape Companies, a New York-based real estate development and investment firm. 

“The Palmetto is a truly special property in Charleston that we hope will be a local institution for many years to come.” said President of Dreamscape Hospitality Scott Broder. “We expect its effortless style, prime location, and impeccable service to resonate with Charleston locals and tourists alike.”

The Palmetto has been imbued with a warm and deeply empathetic design that speaks to an effortless level of luxury steeped in comfort and inherently found in residential-inspired spaces. The meticulously-curated decor further enhances this ambiance and references the city at every turn, through the use of historic black and white party pictures and classic antiques reinvented through custom upholstery depicting iconic Lowcountry destinations. The cumulative result is a singular guest experience that seamlessly embraces the warmth and sophistication inherently found in genuine southern hospitality to create a sensation akin to coming home when residing at the property.

Situated in the heart of the city’s beloved French Quarter historic district and visible from both East Bay and Cumberland Streets, the hotel places guests within arm’s reach of live music and Lowcountry fare with High Cotton, an award-winning restaurant, and Slightly North of Broad (SNOB), a celebrated eatery, located just next door. A major boon for guests, SNOB is slated to debut a special partnership with the property for guests upon opening. Due to its idyllic location, contextual design and warm ambience, The Palmetto is poised to become a touchpoint for the local community and vibrant tourism scene, and will introduce a robust calendar of imaginative activations and partnerships upon opening. Leading multinational hospitality firm Aimbridge Hospitality will be managing the anticipated property.

In addition to incredible restaurants, guests at The Palmetto are also steps from an abundance of desirable shopping, impressive galleries and stunning parks, all of which make the French Quarter the perfect destination for experiential tourism. The hotel’s proximity to bustling downtown, as well as the waterfront and Market and King Streets ensures the walkability of the location as well as a wealth of activities suitable for day and night. When venturing beyond The Palmetto’s prime location guests can enjoy other hallmarks of the Charleston peninsula, including its vibrant waterways and candy-colored facades dotting 90 miles of coastline.
