27 State Street Bed & Breakfast in Charleston

My husband and I take an annual trip to Charleston to celebrate our wedding anniversary. For many years, we visited the same local bed and breakfast and had absolutely no complaints. However, in 2024 for no other reason than curiosity, we decided to book a room at 27 State Street. Our experience there was so wonderful that we returned to enjoy it again about a week ago. The B&B is located in a quiet residential area, and is just a short walk - literally a block or two - from The Market, local shops, restaurants and the Waterfront Park. To a passer-by, it may appear to be a private home. I'm sure we've walked by it for years, not realizing it was a B&B. It only has a couple of rooms so it almost feels as if you are the only (privileged) guests in the house. It is rare that you encounter anyone else who might be staying there. It is very quiet and private, and we love that. The room we stay in has exposed old brick walls (which are gorgeous), is very spacious and is presented beautifully. You can see this room on the website so I won't go into detail here. But, I will say it does not disappoint. Our visits to Charleston are about the overall experience. A terrific meal is ruined for us if the service is not good and may determine if we ever go back to the restaurant. It is the same for our accomodations. There is someone special who sets this B&B apart from anywhere else we've ever stayed and completes the experience for us - and that would be the House Manager - Donna! Every morning she serves a delicious breakfast and caters to you as if you are her only guests. And her French press coffee......outstanding! Each morning we looked forward to her breakfasts and interacting with her. She perfectly blends her professionalism and her fun personality and sweetness! She is an invaluable source when needing a recommendation for somewhere to eat or tour, as she knows the city well! After this second visit, my husband and I have come to the opinion that 27 State Street B&B would not be what it is without Donna! But, don't take my word for it! Go see for yourself! You won't regret it!

My husband and I travel to Charleston once a year. We have stayed at many places, but 27 State Street is the best! Perfect location in the French Quarter and is within walking distance to many attractions. The rooms are charming, clean, and have comfortable furniture including the Charleston rice bed. Breakfast is always delicious and made from the freshest ingredients. We always enjoy the veranda which is a great place to relax after a busy day. Donna House who is the manager is the best! She always goes above and beyond to make things perfect. I'm looking forward to returning next year!

A rare and hidden gem in the French Quarter. Quiet, peaceful, and so convenient to all that downtown Charleston has to offer. Donna, the manager was so personable and attentive. Breakfast was delicious, and our room was wonderful! We were able to walk to our favorite restaurant, SNOB!

27 State Street was the perfect place for our Honeymoon. Quaint and centrally located, navigating the historic district was a breeze. And the host was attentive to our every need. We will definitely return.

27 State Street offers a great opportunity to stay in the French Quarter in an authentic, historic inn. The rooms are vintage with original brickwork, etc. and are extremely clean. Donna, the manager, is very personable and makes every effort to insure guests are comfortable and enjoy their experience. She is culinary trained and prepares fresh breakfast items each morning that are 5 star. I don't think you will find a better location in the downtown area. All restaurants and shopping is within walking distance as is the waterfront park. I highly recommend.

Excellent location in the heart of the French Quarter, with all attractions and amazing food within walking distance. It's a quiet, 2-room traditional B&B. Breakfast is included and very tasty. Donna was a wonderful host. She booked our ghost tour and assisted with parking and local attractions. We had the upstairs room which was roomy for 2 people and the AC blew cold air. Would definitely stay here again.

On a recent trip to Charleston we knew we wanted to stay in a Bed and Breakfast. I researched a lot of them and was immediately struck by the charm of 27 State Street. The room is exactly as pictured, immaculately clean, well stocked, historic feel with a very comfortable bed and a welcoming bottle of wine. The courtyard was a beautiful mix of greenery with a fountain and upstairs is a relaxing patio with a view to the street. Our host, Donna, went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed out trip. She was there with maps and info, started our day with a full and very enjoyable breakfast, and always checked to see if we needed anything else at the end of the day. I couldn't think of a more perfect place to stay and enjoy Charleston.

My husband and I are repeat guests to 27 State Street. Best place ever! Great location, excellent breakfasts, beautiful room, comfortable bed, and great ambiance. We also enjoy the veranda which is a great place to relax after a long day of sight seeing. This is our home away from home and I’m always sad when it’s time to leave. Donna always goes above and beyond to make our stay pleasant!! Can’t wait to go back next year!!
