Hotels in Charleston

What staying in Charleston feels like

Staying in Charleston shows a modest gap between the cheapest and most premium nightly rates — roughly a 1.6× spread from bottom to top — so you won’t see extreme jumps across the market. The best balance for most travellers is in economy properties, which represent the best value tier for typical stays.

How hotel classes compare and who they suit

At the entry level, economy rooms sit well below the rest and are the most budget-friendly option, ideal for travellers prioritising savings over extras. The next step up is standard accommodation, which represents the biggest price jump and is where many guests trade a bit more comfort for noticeably higher rates. There are only two distinct tiers in this market, so premium and luxury tiers don’t appear as separate categories here; if you want more upscale features you’ll be moving beyond standard pricing rather than into a separate, intermediate bracket. Overall, economy suits budget-minded visitors while standard is the logical choice for travellers seeking a clearer step up in comfort.

When travellers from Australia should book

Rates are typically lowest in August and highest in June, so a budget-led trip is best scheduled for August when nightly rates are markedly lower than in June. Rooms here are usually available at short notice — travellers often lock in a room about a day ahead, though those keen to secure particular dates may book earlier (around ten days) especially if travelling in the priciest month.
