Inn at Middleton Place
Named on National Geographic Traveler 2008 “Stay List”
April 1, 2008 - Charleston, South Carolina — The Inn at Middleton Place was among only two hotels in South Carolina to make National Geographic Traveler’s (NGT) first-ever, annual “Stay List”. The April 2008 issue’s “Stay List” celebrates 150 hotels in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean region that are among the best at blending location-inspired architecture, ambience and amenities, eco-stewardship and an ethic of giving back to the community.
Located just outside Charleston, SC, on the bluffs of the Ashley River, the Inn at Middleton Place offers relaxing accommodations in an atmosphere of unsurpassed natural beauty. This is one of my all time favorite resorts. The drive from the Atlanta area is only 4 hours. A recipient of the American Institute of Architects highest award, the Inn's design is a contemporary counterpoint to the adjacent 18th-century Middleton Place, America's oldest landscaped gardens, and a National Historic Landmark.
In addition to gracious sleeping-room accommodations, with scenic views and seasonal wood-burning fireplaces, guests of the Inn enjoy a wide range of educational experiences. The Middleton Place Gardens, House Museum and Stableyards tell the story of one of America's most important families and the history of a thriving South Carolina rice plantation. The Inn’s Outdoor Center's naturalists facilitate daily guided- and self-guided walking, bikingandkayakingtours of the woods, marsh and river. Take a stroll through the Organic Gardenor find peace while visiting the labyrinth. Or just enjoy the breeze off the Ashley River while lying in a hammock...enjoying the serenity that is
