Bottom Line

Perfect for a romantic getaway, Zero George Street is an upscale boutique hotel near Charleston’s Historic District made up of five historic buildings surrounding a picturesque courtyard.

Zero George Street

Scene

Charming boutique hotel popular with couples

The charming Zero George Street hotel comprises three Charleston residences and two brick carriages houses with beautiful details like faded brick, crisp cream siding, and gray shutters. Rustic elements like exposed brick walls in the lobby are paired with stylish, sophisticated decor, while elegant parlors combine classic and contemporary style for a chic effect. There's plenty of breezy porches and patios that offer romantic spots for the many couples who stay at the hotel. The lobby is located in the original kitchen carriage house which dates back to 1804 and features a display kitchen with a French enamel cooking range where staff members prepare food, filling the air with sweet and savory scents of food to be served at the restaurant. Zero Café & Bar features indoor and outdoor dining under a covered porch or on a stone patio. The courtyard of the hotel also features picturesque seating areas on wooden benches set in a gravel yard surrounded by charming manicured bushes and a water fountain.

Location

On the edge of the Historic District, a short walk to King Street

Zero George Street is located on a busy corner right on the outskirts of the historic district of Charleston, with plenty of old houses and charming side streets nearby. It’s less than a 10-minute walk to King Street, one of the busiest shopping and dining areas in the neighborhood, and City Market, where vendors sell their goods in open-aired buildings. Marion Square, a lovely, large park, as well as Aquarium Wharf are also under a 10-minute walk.
