The Bistro serves cooked-to-order breakfast with Starbucks coffee. Dinner options include burgers, sandwiches, pasta dishes, and cocktails. The dining room has floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Ashley River. A market sells soups, homemade sandwiches, salads, and snacks for quick meals.

Waterfront Pool & Fitness

The outdoor waterfront pool and whirlpool overlook the Ashley River, surrounded by a deck with loungers and palm trees. Dock slip rentals are available nightly, weekly, or monthly. The 24/7 fitness center has cardiovascular equipment. The property includes a terrace with a firepit.

Historic District Access

Located in Downtown Charleston, a 5-minute drive from the historic district. A hotel shuttle runs to the Historic District for a small fare. Nearby attractions include the Charleston City Market (2.5 km), Aiken-Rhett House (2 km), and Brittlebank Park (1 km).

Hotel Services & Amenities

Services include a business center, two meeting rooms accommodating up to 80 people, dry cleaning, and daily housekeeping. The hotel offers mobile key and digital check-in. Accessible features include elevators, van-accessible parking, and rooms with roll-in showers and visual alarms.

“Courtyard Charleston Waterfront has a great advantage with its position on the Ashley River, and the complimentary shuttle makes access to the Historic District simple. The renovated guest rooms offer comfort, but the outdoor spaces, including the pool area and firepit, are where this hotel truly shines. I think the hotel is ideal for both business and leisure travelers.”
