Marriott International has added the first South Carolina property to its Autograph Collection portfolio—the Grand Bohemian Hotel Charleston, part of the Kessler Collection.
“This year, Autograph Collection Hotels has significantly expanded its portfolio to include Triada Palm Springs [in California]; Cotton House Hotel in Barcelona; the Press Hotel in Portland, Maine; the Mayflower in Washington, DC; and Kameha Grand Zurich, with a steady stream of other new hotels being added across the globe,” says Julius Robinson, vice president of the Autograph Collection. “Autograph Collection Hotels is proud to have a total of 10 Kessler Collection properties in its global portfolio.”
Nestled in the city’s historic district, the 50-room Southern Renaissance-style boutique hotel features the Grand Bohemian Gallery, with rare, local artwork, as well as a wine tasting experience.
Traditional French design was complemented throughout with a contemporary aesthetic. The lobby features 4-foot-long fringe chandeliers, a backlit stone front desk, and velvet drapery. Meanwhile, printed drapery and leather chaise lounges stand out against a color palette of lavender, gray, and chartreuse in the guestrooms, where bathrooms feature marble vanities, glass sconces, and Italian plank-tiled flooring.
Additional amenities include a rooftop restaurant and terrace decked in crystal chandeliers, aquamarine watercolor sheers, and gray-washed reclaimed wood.
