27 State Street Bed and Breakfast — Hotel in Charleston

My husband and I take an annual trip to Charleston to celebrate our wedding anniversary. For many years, we visited the same local bed and breakfast and had absolutely no complaints. However, in 2024 for no other reason than curiosity, we decided to book a room at 27 State Street. Our experience there was so wonderful that we returned to enjoy it again about a week ago. ||The B&B is located in a quiet residential area, and is just a short walk - literally a block or two - from The Market, local shops, restaurants and the Waterfront Park. To a passer-by, it may appear to be a private home. I'm sure we've walked by it for years, not realizing it was a B&B. It only has a couple of rooms so it almost feels as if you are the only (privileged) guests in the house. It is rare that you encounter anyone else who might be staying there. It is very quiet and private, and we love that. The room we stay in has exposed old brick walls (which are gorgeous), is very spacious and is presented beautifully. You can see this room on the website so I won't go into detail here. But, I will say it does not disappoint. ||Our visits to Charleston are about the overall experience. A terrific meal is ruined for us if the service is not good and may determine if we ever go back to the restaurant. |It is the same for our accomodations. There is someone special who sets this B&B apart from anywhere else we've ever stayed and completes the experience for us - and that would be the House Manager - Donna! Every morning she serves a delicious breakfast and caters to you as if you are her only guests. And her French press coffee......outstanding! Each morning we looked forward to her breakfasts and interacting with her. She perfectly blends her professionalism and her fun personality and sweetness! She is an invaluable source when needing a recommendation for somewhere to eat or tour, as she knows the city well! After this second visit, my husband and I have come to the opinion that 27 State Street B&B would not be what it is without Donna! But, don't take my word for it! Go see for yourself! You...

We couldn’t have hoped for a more perfect couples weekend in historic Charleston and our stay at this gem was a huge reason! Perfectly tucked on a secluded side street in the Old French Quarter, the entry courtyard is just so beautiful and inviting with greenery and a fountain. The limited three bedrooms made it feel so intimate and personalized! We stayed in the State Room, with brick interior walls and historic feel we felt like we stepped back to the early 1800’s (but with all the modern amenities you could hope for!) Breakfast upstairs in the open-air veranda was just perfect and we didn’t even notice it was 90 degrees the days we were there. The included parking was a God-send for our needs. By far the best part was the proprietor, Miss Donna. Starting with our reservation months before, she was impeccably kind and caring and her communication was so genuine and personalized. We thoroughly enjoyed conversing with her during breakfast and she was a wealth of interesting local knowledge (we followed many of her recommendations!) I cannot recommend this B&B more highly for a truly special Charleston experience - thank you, we can’t wait...

My husband and I are repeat travelers to Charleston and to 27 State Street. We have stayed at many places in the area, but 27 State Street is the absolute best! The location is perfect and within walking distance to the market, restaurants, waterfront park, and other historic spots. Donna House is the property manager and she goes above and beyond to make it a great experience! In addition, Donna serves the most exceptional breakfast each day on the beautiful veranda. It is the highlight of our morning! We also enjoy sitting on the veranda in the evening to relax and take in the beautiful scenery. The rooms are well decorated and have comfortable beds. I just can't say enough about 27 State Street-this is truly like a second home for John and I. Keep up the great work Donna-you are the best and we can't wait to...
