Guest Comments
My wife and I traveled to Charleston for our wedding anniversary and had a blast. The concierge was very helpful in suggesting local sites and restaurants and we settled in for a few days. Our room had a private courtyard which was great after a full day of walking around this beautiful city. I can't wait to return to Charleston and will without hesitation consider staying at the Kings Courtyard Inn again!

The Inn's Esteemed History
A Storied Past
Built in 1853 by Colonel Charles Blum, the Inn is one of the oldest buildings on famed King Street. Designed by noted Charleston architect, Francis D. Lee in the Greek revival style, the structure is accented by Egyptian architectural detailing. In the 1800's, the first floor housed shops while the second and third floors were used as a hotel.
A Time of Change
Following the War Between the States, King Street fell into a long decline. The war's devastating effect on the Southern economy changed the character of the Blum Building's shops. A portrait and picture frame manufacturer lasted only a year. Over the next century the uses of the building varied from Singer Sewing Machine, a Salvation Army for lodging women, even a skating rink.
Renovation
In 1983, the building underwent a complete renovation. Two light wells of the original buildings were uncovered and enlarged, creating the two courtyards with surrounding rooms. Floors were refinished; windows replaced and modern baths and amenities were added for guests' enjoyment for years to come.
