We’ve been visiting Charleston, South Carolina for over twenty years. We’ve seen it truly blossom into one of the South’s premier tourism destinations. And when we visit, we like to stay at a select few places on the Peninsula and by the beach, and for us one of those options we love is FQI. There’s no place quite like the Charleston SC boutique hotel French Quarter Inn. We love it because of three main things: traditional luxury, the hospitality, and its location, but there’s quite a bit more reasons to love it.

First thing you see when you arrive is the beautiful entryway framed by a row of beach cruisers you can take out to explore whenever your heart desires. Once you enter the hotel you notice the rich wood touches, gorgeous spiral staircases, and ornate details plus a favorite warm fireplace to lounge by in the cooler months. Then you are greeted by the welcoming staff with a flute glass of champagne and taken to your luxury room or suite.

The French Quarter Inn is chock full of luxury touches

The elegantly decorated suites are stocked with top-of-the-line amenities. There are marble bathrooms, luxurious beds, and European linens. The rooms have large LED TVs, and elegant furnishings including sleeper sofas for extra room. No matter if you are in the Junior Suites or the King Balcony Suites overlooking the Market, the rooms are luxurious and comfortable.
