The Ryder Hotel was a fun stay for our anniversary weekend in Charleston. It's a great location, just a block or so away from Market St., and so many restaurants and shopping areas. The pool was a major attraction, as it's one of the few hotels in Charleston to feature one, and we definitely enjoyed it. The rooms were comfortable and felt new.

This is a charming boutique hotel that is close to everything. I booked it for the pool - a necessity during hot Charleston summers. The restaurant has nice vibes, the food was good and they offered happy hour specials & drinks. They have a fleet of very nice cruiser bikes, which are free for guests. I highly recommend and will be back!
