The Award-Winning Luxury Boutique Charleston Hotel
Planters Inn Relais & Châteaux
Planters Inn and Peninsula Grill are longstanding members of Relais & Châteaux, the exclusive collection of independent, high-end boutique hotels and gourmet restaurants located in the world's most romantic destinations.
Relais & Châteaux, established in 1954, is an association of 580 unique hotels and restaurants throughout the world, owned and operated by independent entrepreneurs – most often families – who are passionate about their craft and deeply committed to forging warm, lasting relationships with their guests.
Established on five continents, from the Napa Valley vineyards to Provence to the beaches of the Indian Ocean, Relais & Châteaux invites people across the globe to savor delicious journeys, to discover the inimitable art de vivre engrained in each local culture and to share an incomparable, unforgettable experience.
Relais & Châteaux members protect and promote the wealth and diversity of the world’s culinary and hospitality traditions, to ensure they continue to thrive. They are equally dedicated to preserving local heritage and the environment, as articulated in the association’s Vision presented to UNESCO in November 2014.
“Hidden at the end of an antiquated brick alleyway and through a wrought-iron gate lies Charleston’s most picturesque dining spot, a courtyard lit with carriage lanterns, palmettos rustling overhead. Planters Inn, at the corner of Market Street and Meeting Street, provides a decadently soulful oasis in the very epicenter of the great city’s historic district.” — From The Art of Entertaining
Rizzoli, the famed publisher of beautifully illustrated books, recently released Art of Entertaining: Menus, Flowers, Table Settings, and More for Memorable Celebrations, a behind-the-scenes look at seventeen seasonal parties, both intimate and grand, hosted by award-winning venues located across North America. Author Jessica Kerwin Jenkins, a contributing writer for Vogue and The New York Times, provides a fascinating peek into the rich history of the distinguished Relais and Châteaux collection of beautiful independent hotels and restaurants.
Filled with recipes and decorating tips for creating exquisite affairs, The Art of Entertaining is ideal reading for hosts and hostesses seeking party-planning inspiration from some of the nation’s most admired hoteliers and chefs.
