The Inn at Middleton Place
Set on a bluff overlooking the Ashley River, The Inn at Middleton Place is a 55-room riverfront retreat just outside historic downtown Charleston. Acquired by Bennett Hospitality in June 2025 and managed by Salamander Collection, The Inn offers a serene Lowcountry escape neighboring one of the region’s most iconic landmarks.
Originally opened in 1987, The Inn is celebrated as one of the Lowcountry’s most treasured works of modern architecture. Designed by renowned architect WG Clark, it received the American Institute of Architecture’s highest awards and established Clark’s national reputation. Its intentional design blends seamlessly into the natural environment, with spacious rooms featuring dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the outdoors in.
Every overnight stay at The Inn at Middleton Place includes complimentary access to Middleton Place National Historic Landmark, connected by a scenic riverfront walkway. Guests can explore 110 acres of gardens envisioned in 1741 by Henry Middleton to reflect the grand classical style of Europe and England, alongside a house museum, stable yards, and Eliza’s House, an African American freedman’s dwelling that shares the essential stories of those who lived and labored on the land.
As part of its new chapter, Salamander Collection also oversees The Restaurant at Middleton Place and The Pavilion event venue, enhancing the seamless connection between The Inn, the gardens, and the surrounding history.
