20 South Battery A 1843 private Charlestonian mansion turned modern luxury boutique hotel waiting to welcome you.

If there is one thing that we know at 20 South Battery, it’s Charleston – a city with deep roots and layers of nuance, whose charm and grace captivates everyone who steps onto her well-worn, cobblestone streets. It’s a city rife with history yet thrumming with energy, where everyone is welcome. Built in 1843 as a private mansion and styled through the years to become the shining example of Charlestonian architecture you see today, the intimate, eleven-room boutique hotel of 20 South Battery is a singular way to experience history in modern luxury accommodations. Join us on the broad and breezy front porch across from White Point Gardens, or in the parlor for complimentary w**e and cheese each evening. Stroll our splendid grounds before entertaining guests in the grand ballroom. True Southern hospitality is on display at this gem of the Historic District, and we can’t wait for you to stay with us.

Not every guest leaves with just photographs… Some leave with a story of their own, a moment they still bring up months later, one they can't quite explain but won't forget either.

Two rooms in our Battery Carriage House have built a reputation on stories exactly like these, told firsthand by the guests who lived them.

We've collected a few of those stories, plus some of Charleston's other haunted addresses: https://20southbattery.com/blog/haunted-charleston-guide/

October weather in Charleston is hard to beat. Mornings arrive cool and clear, and the humidity finally breaks. Afternoons settle into a mild, sunny stretch made for a slow walk along the Battery. Garden paths around the estate are starting to show their first hints of fall color.

The Preservation Society's Fall Tours mark their 50th anniversary this season and run now through October 31. Expect house tours, architecture tours, and neighborhood walks across the city.

A winding masterpiece ✨ This is the incredible staircase at 20 South Battery in historic Charleston. What makes it extra special? With the addition of the magnificent 5th-floor library in 1870 but famous architect John Henry Devereux, this became one of the tallest spiral staircases in all of historic Charleston. Walking these steps is literally walking through history!

Some rooms carry more history than others. The Stevens Classic Room carries quite a bit. 🤍

Once part of the estate's 1870 kitchens, these ground-floor rooms sit just below the mansion's front porch.

Exposed beams and original hearth details remain, along with a king-size bed and a modern bath.

History and comfort, side-by-side. Explore the Stevens Classic Room:
