Did you know that the ironwork at 20 South Battery reflects the grand transition of Charleston’s style? From the sturdy, protective wrought iron of the early 19th century to the ornate, decorative flourishes that define the Battery today, our inn is a living gallery of metalwork.

When you stay with us, you aren't just visiting a city—you’re living among its treasures. Our balconies offer the best view in the city, framed by the very iron that has watched over the harbor for nearly two centuries. ⚓️
