Built in 1853, Kings Courtyard Inn is one of the most
historic Charleston Bed and Breakfast Inns. Architect Francis
D. Lee designed the three-story antebellum structure in the
Greek revival style with unusual Egyptian detail. The building
is one of King Street's largest and oldest structures, and has
had many uses in the 150 year existence-high quality shops,
private residences, and at one time, the upper floors were
used as an Inn catering to plantation owners, shipping
interests and merchant guests.
Kings Courtyard Inn is
located at 198 King Street, in the heart of Charleston's
historic district. In the late 1600's and early 1700's, King
Street was the main "trail" leading into old Charles Towne.
During the past three centuries, this quaint thoroughfare of
small shops and charming homes has delighted and intrigued
Charlestonians and visitors alike. The Inn maintains the
residential atmosphere of lower King Street, and extreme care
has been taken to ensure the necessary architectural and
historic accuracy for which Charleston is famous. Each of the
rooms has an individual distinction. All rooms feature
oversized beds, some with canopied beds and fireplaces, and
many have an excellent view of one of the inner courtyards. In
addition, some with canopied beds and fireplaces, and living
rooms with original architectural features.
Comfort
and services are of primary importance. All guests of the Inn
will receive complimentary wine or sherry on arrival and a
morning newspaper delivered to the room. They also receive a
continental breakfast served each morning in their room, the
courtyards, or in the breakfast room. Also, guests may order a
full breakfast from the kitchen if they so choose.
The Inn is within easy walking distance of Charleston's historic homes, gardens, and churches, the Shops of Charleston Place, and only a block away from the City Market area. Here, one may explore one interesting shop after another, barter for the unusual in the open market, or enjoy a delicious meal at one of many delightful restaurants.
