It was truly one of the most memorable travel stays we have had. While I can appreciate that our toddler was not likely a preferred guest, every interaction with staff was warm, patient, and full of true Southern hospitality. The other guests also embraced our children, which was appreciated. Staying in the spacious John Rutledge room was particularly special, as it felt like stepping back in time and it invited interesting conversations with our oldest child about the history of the property. The breakfasts were another delight. They were delicious, fresh and thoughtfully prepared each morning. If you are visiting Charleston and want a place that blends hospitality with rich history, John Rutledge House Inn is truly unmatched. We can't wait to return (when the youngest kid is older).Show More

This was a drive trip also to Savannah and Hilton Head SC. Charleston exceeded our expectations and so did the Rutledge House. The history alone of this beautiful Inn is worth the stay; we were greeted warmly by the front desk attendant and was provided much information about pup friendly places to eat as well as visit. We stayed in the Carriage House which was lovely and had our breakfast each morning in the courtyard. The Inn and the surrounding landscape is beautifully taken care of. We would not hesitate to once again stay at the Rutledge House Inn. Well done Rutledge House Inn!Show More

From the moment I stepped into this stunning Georgian-style home, built before the American Revolution, I was greeted with genuine joy and care... especially from Nicole, who went above and beyond to make sure my stay was nothing short of perfect. Every member of the team radiated professionalism and kindness, and it made a lasting impression on me. Maria, the chef, prepared the best poached eggs I’ve ever had. Nicole, made sure every gluten-free detail, from breakfast to Tea Time, was beautifully taken care of, which meant so much. The nightcap service — offering brandy, port, or sherry in the evening — added a beautiful, old-world charm to my evenings. My room was spotless and dust-free, and the turndown service and housekeeping were consistently top-tier. This is the kind of care that’s hard to find — the kind that makes you feel truly looked after. The location is also ideal: just a few short blocks to the waterfront and perfectly positioned to explore Charleston’s historic district entirely on foot. Even after visiting world-renowned destinations, the John Rutledge House Inn remains the gold standard. It has honestly ruined me for other hotels — and I can’t wait to return.Show More

You definitely feel like you’re in the upper echelon of society while staying there. Centrally located but yet you feel like you’re far away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Tea time was a nice treat in the afternoon and breakfast options are the same as a diner. Show More
