We loved our stay. Its was our first family trip only ladies.
Nicky welcomed us in. Such a friendly & family environment. Also Gabby, Maurice kitchen staff, and cleaning staff too.
We started with an early morning having breakfast we enjoyed very much, choosing our meals every night.
Shopping 🛍️ is close if you love shopping. Cafe place we did most of our stay was walking distance Souralle. Ru Ru we enjoyed ice cafe and pizza. We walking to the pier, pineapple 🍍. We want to return again next year. We loved it . Especially the Jacuzzi we had a blast .. we loved everything from 116 John R. We can't wait to return. Quiet place.

If I had to choose one word to describe my stay here, it would be phenomenal! From the moment I walked into this amazing, beautiful, historic home, I was greeted with joy by the staff, especially Nicole, who went above and beyond to make my stay delightful. The service was impeccable, with incredible breakfasts, Maria, the chef, made the best poached eggs I’ve ever had. The turn-down service and housekeeping were top-notch, room was spotless and dust free. Tea Time was also amazing, and they wonderfully accommodated my gluten-free needs, making the experience even more special. A special touch was the nightcap waiting for me upon my return in the evening, featuring amazing brandy, port, and sherry. The location is perfect for exploring the best points of interest in historic Charleston, all within walking distance. This has been the most exceptional experience I’ve ever had.

This luxurious inn exceeded expectations in every way. Accommodating and friendly staff, delicious made-to-order breakfasts, impressive and comfortable rooms, etc. Walking distance to almost everything. The only downside was having to leave.

Amazing place to stay! Steeped in history with great service and hospitality. Food was good and the rooms were spacious and decorated beautifully. Walking distance to King Street shops, market and restaurant. Parking in the rear. lWould stay again!

This place is amazing. I’m a local who can honestly say that staying here will spoil you with location, service, cleanliness, history, breakfast, staff, everything! Everyone is very professional. The parking is easy and convenient. There is a lovely afternoon tea, nightcaps in the lobby, and turndown service. They offer breakfast in the room or the lovely courtyard or ballroom. You will love staying here.

The John Rutledge House Inn breaks open 18th century Charlestonian life. As you ascend up the front staircase, you enter the Federalist era. The architecture speaks volumes. There are told and untold histories within these walls, populated by Colonial figures of some consequence. The untold stories linger in the search for the workmen and women who built, decorated, and maintained this house. Ask for Room 5 - a substantial suite, two full well appointed rooms and a full bath with everything you want. It is in the design and decor that history unfolds. And how comfortable! Conceirges, Josh and Jim, were ready to listen, respond, offer insight, and help plan your visit: Charleston offers much to do, to see, and to eat. The Housekeeper and Breakfast server (served either in the Ballroom, on the Patio or in your room) are professional and hospitable. There are a couple of partner historical house inns in Charleston. We have taken seasonal romantic getaways regularly in Charleston. The Rutledge House Inn is a place to return to.

My wife and I spent two magnificent nights at the architecturally and historically significant John Rutledge Inn. From arrival to departure the staff could not have been more friendly, inviting and helpful and we were treated like family. We stayed in room 1 on the ground floor which is large, well-appointed with luxury bedding and towels and a contemporary en-suite bathroom with upscale amenities. We had sumptuous breakfasts and afternoon tea in the beautiful, high ceiling parlor where John Rutledge, a Founding Father, wrote parts of the U.S. Constitution and felt honored by the experience. The Inn has a perfect location for guests wishing to walk to the center or window shop at the countless nearby boutique-like stores.
