Historic, Inside and Out
Historic luxury South Carolina inn, The Ansonborough Charleston, celebrates its grand opening following a multi-million dollar reinvention and rebrand. Originally built as a three-story stationer’s warehouse in 1901, and later opening as a hospitality space under its former name, The Ansonborough Inn, the property offers 45 spacious guest rooms in the heart of Charleston’s oldest neighborhood. Local lore tells that Lord Anson, a British Royal Navy Officer, who established the neighborhood in the 1700s, won it in a game of cards.
The property presents a fine-tuned balance between honoring history and embracing modern charm. All guest rooms bring a distinct personality, with many different configurations and exposed brick and timber alongside antique subway tile mirror backsplashes and brushed gold fixtures.
The newly-added Scarborough & Squirrel bar offers elevated light fare and artisanal cocktails, beers and wines that guests can enjoy at the bar or in the poker room—hidden behind a discreet bookcase enclave, and which pays homage to Captain Anson’s legacy. The new 1,100-square-foot Rooftop Garden, exclusive to guests and bookable for private events, offers comfortable seating, fire pits and surround sound among views of Charleston’s church steeples and the Cooper River Bridge. Throughout the hotel, guests will find historic antiques and a collection of original artwork. Guests can also enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast, regularly scheduled programming and entertainment and an onsite fitness center.
