Method Co. has announced the opening of the Nickel Hotel, a 50-key boutique property on Charleston’s King Street.
The debut marks the company’s second project in the city—following the success of the Pinch—and is a collaboration with New York-based Morris Adjmi Architects; Method’s in-house design team, Method Studios; and real estate investment firm Capital Square.
Located in the city’s vibrant Cannonborough neighborhood, the hotel is a modern nod to Charleston’s rich architectural heritage. Interiors draw inspiration from traditional Southern townhomes, and feature tactile finishes, custom furnishings, and a range of inviting communal spaces—from a tranquil courtyard and library to a guest-only cocktail bar and rooftop lounge Rosemary Rose (the latter will open to the public later this summer).
A standout first impression
The lobby makes a striking first impression with a hand-clipped European marble mosaic sign, checkerboard honed marble floors, and porcelain plaster walls and ceilings. A dramatic antique French tapestry rounds out the atmosphere.
A lush, European-inspired courtyard—framed by three tiers of ornate wrought iron balconies, copper gas lanterns, a wood-burning fireplace, and a two-tiered fountain—serves as the heart of the hotel.
Event spaces and F&B at the Nickel Hotel
Above the courtyard, the Parlour is a sophisticated listening lounge and private event space outfitted with oak herringbone flooring, leather shelving, a curated vinyl collection, and a wraparound balcony.
Other F&B options include Bar Daniel, a guest-only lounge named after Cannonborough’s founder, and Rosemary Rose, a soon-to-open rooftop bar with 360-degree views of Charleston. Taking cues from the French Riviera, the indoor-outdoor space features hacienda-style iron furniture, Moroccan zellige tile, and custom banquettes beneath an arched bar.
Extended stay guestrooms
Designed to accommodate extended stays, guestrooms boast full kitchens and ample lounge and dining space. Each room blends elegance and comfort through details like honed marble countertops and custom oak furniture. Meanwhile, bathrooms are elevated with hand-glazed green porcelain tiles and encaustic-style floors.
Many rooms offer private balconies overlooking King Street or the courtyard, too.
“The Nickel Hotel is located in the Cannonborough neighborhood, which is filled with great restaurants, cool coffee shops, and independent stores,” says Randall Cook, CEO of Method Co. “It’s exciting to be in the center of this area with so many creatives and young people—both locals and visitors alike.”
