Have You Met Charles T. Bear?
The Tale of a Sweet Bear...
For 25 years, Charles T. Bear has greeted every Planters Inn guest. Do you know the story behind our cute-and-cuddly Ambassador of Hospitality?
Many years ago, the owner of Planters Inn flew cross-country on the red-eye and went straight to back-to-back business meetings without any sleep. When he arrived at his hotel that night, he was tired and frazzled.
“I was dog-tired by the time I checked into the hotel,” he recalls. “I opened the door to my room and saw a teddy bear on my bed. It just lifted my spirits.”
“I went out to get a burger, and when I came back an hour later, my bed had been turned down. Tucked into my bed was the teddy bear, and by now he was wearing a little nightshirt. I got into that bed after having been up for nearly 48 hours and snuggled up next to that teddy bear.”
“The next morning, I woke up and looked at the bear and said, ‘You’re going to be in my hotel.’ It struck me as an utterly charming thing to put in a hotel room to give a tired traveler a lift.”
This package includes Signature Breakfast in the Peninsula Grill dining room and a private carriage ride through Charleston's Historic District.
