A Timeless Addition to Charleston’s Legacy

Designed to reflect Charleston’s rich tapestry of history and culture, the new Four Seasons Hotel and Residences will come to life through architecture and residence interiors by Morris Adjmi Architects, in addition to hotel interiors by Lark Design Studios. The landscape architecture will be led by Hollander Design, which has created notable private and public gardens, green spaces and landscapes across the US.  

The hotel will feature four restaurants and bars, an outdoor pool with private cabanas, and 650 square metres (7,000 square feet) of event space, making it an ideal venue for weddings, celebrations and corporate gatherings. Guests and residents will also have access to a full-service spa with private treatment rooms and hydro-thermal facilities, a state-of-the-art fitness centre and curated retail offerings.

The residences will feature thoughtfully designed interiors with views of the downtown Charleston skyline, access to hotel amenities and a property management team that is fully staffed by Four Seasons, ensuring homes are fully serviced and cared for whether residents are at home or away.
