Charleston, SC

The Loutrel

THE VIBE: With its oversized rattan furnishings, lazy-swinging ceiling fans, and pops of live greenery, the lobby at the Loutrel closely resembles a Southern front porch—a fitting welcome to this quaint, 50-room inn set at the lower end of Charleston’s peninsula. Artwork from around the region punctuates the space, starting with a multi-paneled garden scene by local painter Linda Fantuzzo, while the botanical theme shows up in each room, courtesy of live orchids and Matouk throws in a range of pastel shades. Add in its ideal location, blocks from Rainbow Row, the Pineapple Fountain, the Battery, and downtown’s cobblestoned alleyways, and you’ve got yourself a fitting home base to explore the Holy City.
