I am a mother of two gainfully employed children and one Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I love being out of doors and enjoy going to out of the way places. But I also need brain food, so I enjoy what new cities have to offer.
August 1 2007: Flawless is the first word that comes to mind at The Planters Inn. From the bellman who offers to arrange a walking tour for you the next day, to a restaurant with remarkable food and wine, this place sets a standard by which everything else should be judged.
Though located next to the outdoor market, the inn is quiet and refined. The rooms are spacious.
Charleston is a fun city, and The Planters Inn is enticing enough to make you want to stay inside all day long.
If you make a mistake and do not stay at the Inn, at least dine at The Peninsula Grill, and have one of the best dining experiences ever.
