Historic Interest

21 East Battery was built in 1825, one of the first dwellings constructed along the High Battery, during the tenure of the property's first owner, Charles Edmondston. Later, in 1838, second-owner Charles Alston extensively remodeled the house, adding significant Greek Revival details. The rear dependency originally served as a stable and livery for the wealthy rice planter's fine horses and handsome town carriages. The quarters once housed the servants who helped make 21 East Battery one of the city's showplaces of style and gracious entertaining. Today, the property once again welcomes visitors to the city where hospitality has always been an art.

Wonderful Stay!

"Kudos to the folks at 21 East Battery for a wonderful stay! I couldn't imagine a better location - the heart of the Battery in the most amazing city. With the fresh-baked treats, baby grand piano, wireless Internet, delicious quiches each morning, comfortably elegant decor and more space than I could have asked for - this very well could be the best value in all of Charleston. I can't wait to go back to places where it is done right - and this is on my list." Jay Karen, President & CEO

Kindness and hospitality were beyond compare!

Thank you so much for everything! Your kindness and hospitality were beyond compare – and your cooking is heavenly :) We had a fabulous time and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while we celebrated our wedding and honeymoon. We hope to stay here again the next time we are in Charleston – and we know we won’t be able to stay away for long :) Many, Many Thanks!!!!
