The 50 Best Hotel Openings of 2025

The Nickel Hotel, Charleston, South Carolina

Keys: 50
Design: Method Co. and Morris Adjmi Architects
Why we love it: Seamlessly marrying Charleston’s historic charm with a contemporary vernacular, the King Street retreat welcomes guests with grand arched windows and handlaid marble details that feel timeless. A highlight: the serene courtyard, which feels both of its place and refreshingly new.
Owner: Capital Square | Operator: Method Co. | Purchasing firm: The Cardy Group
