Visiting a new city can be overwhelming and stressful. You have so much to see and do that you can’t possibly see everything in one trip. It’s important to find a place to stay that makes you feel at home while also giving you some space to yourself. The Emeline Hotel is the perfect balance of coziness and privacy, with a little bit of luxury. Checking into the Emeline Hotel is like going back in time; this boutique hotel has an old-fashioned feel, with modern amenities and luxuries mixed in. The hotel was originally built as a private home in 1905 but was converted into an inn in 2011 by owners Erica and Zach Goodridge.

Awards and Recognition

The Emeline Hotel has won a few awards, including the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence. The hotel also won an architectural award from the Charleston Architecture Review Board. The Emeline Hotel also made the Forbes list of America’s Best Beach Vacations, and the list of Best Places to Travel in 2019.

Best Season to Visit

The best season to visit The Emeline Hotel is when the weather is warm and pleasant. The hotel is on the water, and it’s very pleasant to walk along the coast when it’s warm outside. If you visit during the cold months, you can explore Charleston, which is a short drive away. The city has a lot of history and culture, as well as some nice shops and restaurants. Visit in the Summer and you can walk along the water or visit one of the many beaches nearby. If you visit in the Fall or Winter, you can still visit the beaches or go hiking or visiting nearby cities.

Amenities

The Emeline Hotel has a lot of amenities and activities available to their guests. You can visit the rooftop bar, which has a nice view of the water. There is also a coffee shop on the same level, where you can get a quick cup of coffee or a snack. The hotel also has a fitness center, as well as a yoga/meditation room. The hotel also has a restaurant, where you can enjoy a meal or a drink. The restaurant features a rotating menu with seasonal items. The Emeline Hotel is pet-friendly, so you can bring your furry friend with you on your trip. It’s a good idea to call ahead, just to make sure they have a room available for your pet.

The Good

At the Emeline Hotel, you get the best of both worlds. You have a nice room with modern amenities and a comfortable bed, but you are also staying in a historic building. You can sit on the porch and people watch, or go for a walk along the water. There is a lot of history in Charleston, and the hotel is close to several museums. The hotel is also near some good restaurants and shopping areas. If you want to visit the city, it’s close enough to walk or take a quick Uber ride. It’s also close to the airport, so you can visit the city and the airport easily.

The Bad

The Bad The only major negative you should be aware of is that the hotel is on the pricier side. Depending on the time of year and the day of the week, the hotel can be fairly expensive. If you are visiting at a time when the hotel is busy, such as during a holiday or a major event, be prepared to pay a little extra for your stay.

Tips for your visit

  • If you can, visit in the Fall or Spring. These are the least busy times of the year, and you can get better deals on rooms and tickets to events.
  • If you are visiting in the warmer months, be prepared for crowds and lines. Charleston is very popular and touristy, so be prepared for crowds at the attractions and lines to get inside buildings.
  • Most hotels have a no-strolling rule, so don’t walk on the grass or the sidewalk in front of the hotel.
  • Visit the shops near the hotel, including the antique store. You can find some great souvenirs and gifts.
  • If you have time, you can drive to nearby cities, such as Savannah, GA. This is a short drive, and it’s worth the trip.
  • Visit the plantations nearby. These are must-see attractions, especially if you are into history.
  • Visit one of the nearby beaches. You can go to the beaches in the city or drive to one outside of town.
  • If you visit in the winter, you can still enjoy the attractions, but you may have to bundle up.

Final Words

The Emeline Hotel is a wonderful place to stay, but it does come at a price. If you can get a deal or find some good deals online, you can save some money on your stay. The hotel is worth the money, though, and you’ll have a great time exploring the city or just relaxing in your room. The Emeline Hotel is the perfect place to start your vacation in Charleston.
