I visited Charleston, SC as a destination vacation to celebrate my birthday. I chose the John Rutledge House Inn as my hotel due to its fine reputation and proximity to downtown ameity. I got so much more than I expected. The service staff was friendly and attentive. The occomdations were clasic and comfortable. I was a sort walk from the battery, the market and so much dining & entertainment. I highly reccommend this location for any upscale Charleston excusion. Brian T.

Can’t say enough great things. Staff was accommodating, helpful and welcoming. Location can’t be beat. Breakfast every day was complete perfection. This is an old inn & decor is period-specific. We loved it. Bathroom was modern and had amazing water pressure which for the age of the inn was a nice surprise!

Really enjoyed our 3 night stay here. The property was beautiful and in a historic area of town. We had breakfast served in our room every morning which was a treat! They offer delicious treats for afternoon tea. The concierges are so helpful - from fixing the tv sound, to getting more pillows and advising how to get to dinner. We stayed in the carriage house which worked well for us. Minimal stairs!

Beautiful historic mansion that was 5 stars in every way! The suite, the service, food and staff were completely on point in every way! Our concierges , Jim and Josh were super helpful. Suite 7 was John Rutledge’s original bedroom and study where he worked on the US Constitution.

We have stayed here multiple times in multiple rooms. The staff is always attentive and friendly. Staying in this restored home is always a treat. The included hot breakfast is always filling and a nice way to start the day. Also they have tea and desserts at 4, treats were delicious. And the evenings they have port, sherry and other cordials placed out.

What a wonderful place to stay. A very lovely and super clean place to stay. The history was so interesting. All staff members were so kind and friendly. Would definitely stay here again when we visit Charleston. The location is just right close to everything to make it walkable to many of the sites.

It was a wonderful property, service and food. We had an excellent time. Tea in the afternoon and evening drinks were very nice. The setting and attention to detail were excellent as well as the room information in which the rooms were named for was historical interesting. We look forward ti staying again in the future.

We’ve made many trips to Charleston over the last 20 years and tried a handful of other inns in the earliest years. But since we discovered the Rutledge House we’ve never stayed anywhere else. We love the spacious suites with comfortable sitting rooms and large bedrooms with Tempur-Pedic mattresses. The JRH staff are helpful and the concierge kindly coordinates all of our restaurant reservations beautifully. Breakfasts are diverse and well prepared, served indoors or in the private garden, and afternoon teas with hors d’oeuvres are delightful and different each day. Highly recommend the John Rutledge House!
