Built way back in 1853 at number 198 on bustling King Street, this grand dame underwent a charming transformation into the Kings Courtyard Inn, welcoming weary wanderers seeking a cozy mix of yesterday and today. The two-story beauty, guarded by two secret courtyards and boasting a lush garden in the rear, is as elegant as can be with a Greek Revival exterior and a touch of Egyptian Revival flair. It's a classic among the historic bunch in the Charleston Historic District, a National Landmark no less. Joining the prestigious group of 35 founding members of Historic Hotels of America in 1989, it's fair to say this old girl has grown into a fine wine, putting the past behind and looking towards the future.
