Post House
Historic coastal charm meets considered design — beadboard walls, handmade tile showers, mid-century furniture, and antique artwork, without feeling stale or self-conscious. The restaurant below buzzes with neighborhood energy. Upstairs, it's quietly personal.
Room 7 is the only room with a bathtub — and there's a skylight directly above it. Book it for anniversaries.
Why It Matters
One of very few Michelin Key–winning properties in South Carolina. Featured on the Travel + Leisure IT List 2022 and named by Vogue as one of the '15 Most Charming Boutique Hotels in the U.S.' The building dates to 1896 and has been a neighborhood anchor ever since. Now operated by The Indigo Road Hospitality Group after original founders Ben and Kate Towill sold in 2025.
Post House is a seven-room coastal inn sitting inside an 1896 building in Mount Pleasant's historic Old Village — just across the bridge from downtown Charleston. Think: wide-plank floors, William Morris wallpaper, locally-curated minibars, and a genuinely great restaurant downstairs that locals actually eat at. The Michelin Guide calls it best understood as 'a very fine restaurant with a handful of beautifully crafted guest rooms,' and that's pretty much exactly right. Rates start at $250/night.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Room 1
From USD250 / nightA cozy queen room on the second floor, featuring vintage and bespoke lighting and William Morris 'Willow' wallpaper. Westerly-facing windows catch the Charleston sunset. Works well as a solo retreat or getaway for two. Stair access only.
Queen
Room 2
From USD250 / nightPerched on the northeastern corner of Post House, this is the light-filled standout. Oversized windows on two sides, a king bed, and a classically-styled daybed in the corner nook. The daybed can sleep an additional guest ($50 added to room rate). Best for those who want rooftop views with their morning coffee.
King + Daybed
Room 3
From USD250 / nightA king room defined by its William Morris 'Sweet Meadow' wallpaper — genuinely lovely contrast against the mid-century furniture. The sort of room where you'll find yourself lingering in the morning with a robe and a magazine. Stair access only.
King
Room 4
From USD250 / nightNorth and westerly windows fill this king room with afternoon light. Views stretch across Venning Street gardens and the occasional neighbor on an evening walk — genuine Old Village life. There's a non-functioning hidden fireplace that's charming anyway.
KingRoom 5
From USD250 / nightThe highest standard king — third floor, westerly sunset views, and a shower lit by a skylight overhead. Feels genuinely secluded, which is a lot to say for a room above a busy neighborhood tavern. Good pick for those who want to tune out.
KingRoom 6
From USD250 / nightThe only true multi-room option — a king bed in the main room and a queen-size Tempur-Pedic pullout in the second room. Ideal for traveling families, a group of friends, or anyone who just needs the extra space. On the third floor, stair access only.
King + Queen Pullout SofaRoom 7
From USD250 / nightThe most romantic room in the house. King bed, an elegant settee, willow tree views, and — the thing that sets it apart — the only bathtub in the inn, with a skylight directly above it. Book this one for anniversaries, honeymoons, or anyone who just needs a proper soak. Third floor, stair access only, max 2 guests.
