On Charleston, South Carolina’s, historic Upper King Street, you’ll find brand-new The Nickel Hotel, a 50-room luxury property that perfected the right blend of Charleston’s charm with chic décor.

After the success of its sister property, The Pinch, Method Co. now brings its second project to life through elegant guestrooms and suites, a lush interior courtyard, library, guest-only cocktail bar, and more. The Nickel Hotel’s lobby sets the stage for the rest of the experience, with hand-painted porcelain plaster and a large, antique French tapestry hanging on the wall.

Guestrooms and suites were designed to evoke the comforts of home, with each boasting a full-sized kitchen with built-in Bosch appliances, honed marble countertops, dining and lounge spaces, LG washer and dryer, custom-designed furniture, House of Hackney wallpaper, Nordic Knot Scandinavian rugs, and Gubi coffee tables. Guests can select their preferred view from their room or suite: either the lush courtyard or King Street. Many rooms also come with private balconies.

The interior courtyard alone is a focal point of the property, with three stories of ornate, wrought-iron balconies; earthy terracotta tones; wood-burning fireplace; and a two-tiered fountain in the center making for a relaxing, European-influenced space. Greenery drapes around these courtyard pieces for an oasis within the heart of Charleston.

Overlooking the courtyard is The Parlour, a private event space and listening room with its own selection of vinyl. Other highlights of the hotel include Bar Daniel, a private guest lounge on the second floor serving craft cocktails and espresso drinks, and soon-to-open Rosemary Rose, a rooftop lounge with 360-degree views of the city. Rosemary Rose will open later this summer and offer a curated selection of cocktails and light bites in a hacienda-style space.
