The Beach Club at Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina
Mount Pleasant's finest hotel sits on Charleston Harbor, so you can gaze at the city's skyline with your feet on this resort's sandy beach or from the waterfront pool. The Beach Club's spacious rooms all sport oversized balconies overlooking the pool and harbor. Grounds include a bocce court, life-size chessboard, and a private movie theater. The resort's original hotel, the adjacent Harborside, shares the grounds and includes an additional 125 rooms and the Estuary Spa. A lot goes on here, from splashy boat shows at the marina and wedding celebrations to summertime concerts on Friday evenings. Children can jump into the mini-mariners' program, and parents can learn to navigate a sailboat. A number of annual sailing events are held here, and the bar scene at the three on-site restaurants is fun. Get here via a 10-minute ride on the Charleston Water Taxi (bikes are welcome) or on a trolley that runs to the Market area.
