Eighteenth century elegance and Charleston’s rich romantic history define this former Governor's mansion. George Washington and John Adams presidencies, in the late 1700’s, created great opportunity in the Southern states.
The Governor's House was the residence of Edward Rutledge, South Carolina’s governor, patriot, statesman and the youngest signer of the Declaration of Independence. Henrietta Middleton was Edward’s wife and a member of the prominent Charleston family that owned Middleton Place Plantation.
Over 200 years later, the exquisite mansion retains its grandeur and offers gracious hospitality to visitors from all over the world.
Governor's House Inn is located in the Historic District's premier residential section and provides guests with a unique historical perspective of the elegant lifestyle in the young state. From our doorsteps, guests can walk down legendary Broad Street, stroll to the Old Market or visit the harbor and historic Battery.
Charleston’s fabulous galleries, incredible dining, antique shops, Gibbs Art Museum and Spoleto Art Festival venues are within walking distance of the Inn. Governor's House is located in the center of the Spring Festival of Houses & Gardens and the Fall Candlelight Tours of Homes.
