CLASSIC MEETS ECLECTIC

A lively, colorful hotel in downtown from the Kessler Collection.

When it comes to soaking in beautiful Charleston, there’s no hotel stay quite like the one Grand Bohemian Charleston offers. Ideally located on Wentworth Street, GBC offers easy access to all the best of downtown, while still feeling nicely tucked away into a quiet area. Once inside, you’re immediately met with Kessler Collection’s design-forward style. While many hotels in Charleston lean heavily on integrating the city’s own historic look into their aesthetic, Grand Bohemian takes a step away from the classic and into the more playful, vibrant looks that collection owner Richard Kessler tends to favor. Expect oversized art pieces, dramatic chandeliers, brass lanterns, golden tufted sofas, and neon purple lights that adorn the elevator.

TThe hotel is marked by its dedication to both art and wine, which fuses perfectly with the laidback Southern elegance found throughout each of the hotel’s fifty luxurious rooms. Inside each room, you’ll find that everything—each lamp light, dresser, and pillowtop comforter—provides a pop of Bohemian style against the backdrop of traditionally Southern staples, such as the high-backed chairs and stately headboards.

The hotel’s appreciation for art is not only visible in the details of the interior throughout, it is displayed also in the Grand Bohemian Gallery and the Atrium. The Gallery, open to all guests, features unique pieces of art, jewelry, sculpture, and glass created by nationally and locally renowned artists— all for purchase. The Atrium is full of original pieces and vibrant green grass, and Atrium facing rooms are available.

After ambling through the gallery and admiring each piece of artwork, guests are encouraged to stop by the Grand Bohemian Hotel’s wine bar and wine blending room on the lobby level. Each class offered at the Grand Bohemian Hotel teaches guests the art and chemistry of blending grapes of different ages and regions to create a taste as unique and innovative as each guest’s personality. Guests can leave with their own uniquely blended bottle.

If you’re one who only likes wine when they dine, The Grand Bohemian Hotel’s rooftop restaurant, Èlevè, is sure to captivate your senses. It’s one of few rooftops in the city, so you’ll want to grab a spot outside whenever weather allows. The menu has a French flare, and there is ample seating indoors as well.

All within a five minute walking distance of the hotel, you can grab dinner at Charleston staple FIG, get a delicious lunch at Vivian Howard’s Handy and Hot, or start your morning with craft coffee at The Rise.

The Holy City’s Grand Bohemian, like the rest of owner Richard Kessler’s Kessler Collection, is perfectly executed through detail and design. Married with the prime downtown location in one of our favorite Southern cities, and GBC has made itself into a true destination.
