The Vendue, Downtown Art Hotel - An 18th-century warehouse transformed into Charleston's premier art hotel with rooftop dining and harbor views

Housed in two restored 18th-century warehouses in Charleston's French Quarter district, The Vendue showcases over 200 pieces of contemporary artwork throughout its 84 rooms. This Charleston hotel features rooms with Egyptian cotton sheets, modern amenities, and original art pieces. The property houses Revival restaurant, serving modern interpretations of classic Southern dishes from 5-10 PM daily. The award-winning Rooftop Bar provides panoramic views of Charleston Harbor and serves cocktails alongside al fresco dining. Guest amenities include complimentary bicycles, daily art tours with a docent, and a lobby lounge offering wine and live entertainment. Located in the heart of the Historic District, The Vendue stands steps from Rainbow Row, the Historic Charleston City Market, and Waterfront Park.

Pros

Daily French-style breakfast delivered to rooms between 8-10 AM

Dedicated art docent conducts complimentary daily tours from 5-6 PM

Evening wine and art receptions open to all guests

Exposed brick walls and original architectural features preserved throughout

Cons

No on-site fitness center or pool

Valet parking costs $49 per night

“The Vendue stands out as Charleston's art-focused hotel, and I appreciate how it merges historic buildings with contemporary installations; its location in the French Quarter places guests steps from both dining and art. I think that its unique dining options, including a popular rooftop bar, give it extra appeal.”
