The 50 Most-Anticipated Hotel Openings of 2026
The Cooper, Charleston, South Carolina
Design: Champalimaud Design, Atelier Kim, and Meyer Davis
What we’re looking forward to: Waterfront Park Pier is one of Charleston’s most famous attractions, and the adjacent 191-room Cooper, sister hotel to the Charleston Place, capitalizes upon that idyllic location on the banks of its namesake river. Yacht charters depart from the private marina, and when guests return, they head for the rooftop infinity pool, the 7,000-square-foot spa, or one of the four dining venues, including the harbor-facing Crossing designed by Meyer Davis.
