Item Description

Two night's stay at the Fulton Lane Inn in beautiful Charleston, SC and a gift certificate for $50 at the Circa 1886 House restaurant.

A Romantic Hideaway in America's Most Enchanting City!
Private, intimate, exceptionally accommodating, Fulton Lane Inn surrounds you with the comfort and gracious ambiance of a bygone era. Many of our spacious rooms feature oversized whirlpool baths and luxurious canopied beds draped with hand strung netting are some of the distinctive appointments that add to your romantic retreat. Other rooms enjoy cathedral ceilings, and several offer fireplaces. Throughout, soaring windows frame captivating vistas of the city's historic skyline, punctuated with the many trademark church spires.

The charm and spirit of the Old South live on in an historic inn built by the family of Confederate blockade runner John Rugheimer.

Regarded as the most sophisticated city in America, antebellum Charleston was the cradle of Southern gentility. The proper Charleston home then welcomed summer's casual pace by covering formal furnishings in airy muslin, replacing wool carpets with sisal, and positioning shutters to admit fresh breezes and to provide gentle shade. At the Fulton Inn that spirit has been beautifully recaptured- light filters softly through louvered shades, casting an inviting glow on lush plants, the patina of fine woods, natural textures and soft pastels invite you to indulge in the simple pleasures of a more gracious time.

During your stay, you'll be pampered with complimentary continental breakfast delivered to your room each morning. Our traditional Southern hospitality continues with sherry in the lobby each evening. Of course, our concierge is always at hand to attend to your every need.

After your romantic evening, it's a mere stroll from the famous harbor, historic homes, and attractions. The Fulton Lane Inn is situated just off King Street, tucked away on a pedestrian lane right in the heart of the city's famous Historic District. The inn is literally surrounded by countless fascinating boutiques and scores of antique shops, providing unlimited opportunities for browsing and discovery. Elegant restaurants offering an array of acclaimed menus are just steps away from the inn's entrance. For intimate dining in a sophisticated atmosphere, may we suggest Circa 1886, specializing in real Charleston cuisine.
