Renaissance Charleston Historic District Hotel Unveils Fresh New Design

CHARLESTON, S.C., June 20, 2017 -- Located in the historic heart of Charleston at the corner of Wentworth Street and King Street, the newly reimagined Renaissance Charleston Historic District Hotel is something to behold. Designed by P3 Design Collective, the hotel boasts 162 home-inspired guest rooms, 4 luxurious suites, 5 creative meeting and event spaces, an energizing fitness center and outdoor saltwater pool and a quintessentially Southern lobby.

The newly renovated hotel features a classically Southern lobby.

“The ideas behind the redesign were very much based on the characteristics of Charleston and the South, mixed with charm and lure, so that guests might unwind during a business trip or socialize as a local,” said Paula Benesch of P3 Design Collective. “The comfortably cool atmosphere of the Renaissance Charleston Historic District Hotel speaks to the independent and adventure-seeking guests.”

The newly transformed boutique hotel incorporates classic Charleston elements, with its antique brass lion head doorknockers, Haint Blue porch ceilings and gardens that bloom with fragrant magnolias. A revolving gallery wall features works from local artists.

The updated guest rooms evoke a familiar nostalgia that complements that of the city of Charleston, even for first time visitors. More than just a place to lay your head, each room is decorated with a mix of modern and vintage pieces collected over time as well as local finds one might discover on famous King Street.

“We are thrilled to invite guests into the redesigned Renaissance Charleston Historic District Hotel to have them experience our fresh new look and feel,” said General Manager Brian Wander. “The new features, local art, and overall design speak so highly of our hotel’s emphasis on Southern hospitality and tradition while also fitting in to the charming city around us. While we’ve updated a lot of the hotel through this redesign, this hotel is still rooted in history.”

Owned and operated by Chris Adams and Thaddeus Keefe, of international hospitality firm Ellis Adams Group, 1KEPT, the hotel’s new restaurant and bar concept, features a dining room and a full lounge and bar, plus a beer garden and front patio. The menu features New Southern flavors while incorporating sustainable seafood and hyper-locally sourced ingredients. 1KEPT opened in June 2017.

Outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment, the fitness center is designed to inspire and energize hotel guests. Beyond the fitness center is the outdoor saltwater pool, where visitors can extend their workout routine or relax poolside under the Charleston sun.

For groups and special events, the Renaissance Charleston Historic District Hotel is one of the city's most renowned small event destinations. The locally-inspired event spaces are the perfect setting for weddings and meetings.
