Shem Creek Inn

Shem Creek Inn

Located on the edge of the Shem Creek Park and bordering the wide waterfront, the Shem Creek Inn is a refreshing retreat for visitors who want to be close to the heart of downtown Charleston and the neighboring beaches, but who prefer a more laid-back perspective of life on the Low county waters. Recognized by local publications as one of the area’s “hidden gems,” this hotel is a perfect blend of modern-day attractions and a relaxed and natural setting.

The Shem Creek Inn is ideally located between Charleston’s historic district and area beaches, and as a result, has prime access to a variety of restaurants, coastal wildlife and Lowcountry marshlands. Guests can also relax on-site at the seasonal outdoor pool with adjacent sundeck overlooking Shem Creek, and additional guest amenities include a free daily continental breakfast and hot beverages all day long. The rooms have a touch of the tropics, and boast free wireless internet access, flat screen TVs, microwaves, mini-fridges, and even private balconies which can overlook the adjacent waterfront. With a prime locale that’s just a few miles away from Downtown Charleston, but an atmosphere that’s serene and feels miles away, the Shem Creek Inn combines the best of all worlds.
