Historic Downtown Charleston
The Art of Southern Hospitality
Seventy elegant rooms, a legendary Prime steakhouse and Charleston’s only rooftop pool — all at the corner of East Bay and Market.
Welcome
Steps from the waterfront. Worlds away from ordinary.
In the heart of downtown, the Market Pavilion Hotel puts Charleston’s cobblestone streets, galleries, historic homes and harbor at your doorstep.
Inside, it’s a world of hand-carved mahogany, Italian marble and genuinely gracious service. Begin the evening with a Nitrotini, sit down to 50-day aged USDA Prime at Grill 225, then finish under the stars five floors up at the Pavilion Bar — the city’s most celebrated rooftop.
