A stylish boutique in restored 19th-century buildings on Upper King Street — exposed brick, linen bedding, vintage bar carts, and a ground-floor cocktail bar. A well-regarded mid-range design hotel on the King Street corridor.
Why We Chose It
The Pinch feels like staying in your most stylish Charleston friend's house — exposed brick walls, soft linen bedding, curated vintage finds, warm lighting. The hotel occupies restored 19th-century buildings on the best block of King Street. The Lowland restaurant on the ground floor is one of the most talked-about restaurants in Charleston right now — modern Southern with genuine technique. The shopping on the surrounding block is exceptional.
