Since opening in 1998, after completion of careful historic rehabilitation, the majestic Governor's House has been acclaimed as one of the South's most romantic bed and breakfast inns. Elegant accommodations, exceptional service and Charleston's gracious Southern hospitality are part of the Inn's heritage. Guests experience this tradition in one of Charleston's most magnificent settings, a National Historic Landmark.

Governor's House Inn is ideally situated in the Historic District's premier residential section, a peaceful sanctuary within just a short walk of virtually every destination in downtown Charleston. From our doorsteps on the South side of legendary Broad Street, guests can stroll to the bustling Old Market four blocks to our North, or to the harbor and Battery four blocks to our South. You're not far from the City's famous galleries, fine dining, antique shops and the annual Spoleto Arts Festival venues. Governor's House is the perfect location, whether you're here for a romantic getaway, a quiet vacation or a special event at The Citadel or College of Charleston.

More about our meetings services


Since its beginning, The Governor’s House Inn has given guests a blend of romance and finest accommodations that enchant both young and old alike. It might be the ambiance of the city itself, or the lure of an elegant, luxury Southern wedding. Regardless of what draws people here, the Governor’s House Inn has hosted many weddings to couples looking for simple grandeur embedded in one of the nation’s most romantic and enchanting cities.

Envision yourself in the midst of an intimate gathering of your closest loved ones, beneath shimmering crystal chandeliers as sunlight pours through tall windows, while you stand beside your beloved in a centuries-old mansion. Or, imagine the two of you on a side piazza with only a handful of people who listen to your vows with the faint tinkle of a fountain and the grace of a Magnolia tree behind you. After the vows, a photographer captures your joy with photos in the parlor, on the grand staircase, in the formal living room, and by the courtyard. A private, horse-drawn carriage arrives to carry you through Charleston’s streets and reveals the city’s grand architecture, gardens, houses, and harbor along the way. Perhaps the carriage lets you off at one of the Charleston’s renowned restaurants, where you meet family and friends to continue your celebration. And then, you retire that evening to The Governor’s House Inn, where champagne and strawberries await on a table in the most luxurious and elegant room we have to offer.

At the Governor’s House Inn, we will help arrange the accommodations you would like for your momentous day with the utmost care and detail in order to create an indefinite, picturesque memory for the two of you. This is the day you have dreamt about. Let us help you create your dream.
