The Kessler Collection Set to Open Newest Hotel in the No. 1 City in the U.S.
ORLANDO, Fla., April 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kessler Collection, a portfolio of 10 artistically-inspired boutique hotels and restaurants, is excited to debut in South Carolina, with the opening of Grand Bohemian Hotel Charleston in Summer 2015. Located in the heart of Charleston's Historic District, the 50-room luxury boutique hotel will incorporate diverse offerings including an on-site Grand Bohemian Gallery featuring rare, local and original artwork, wine blending experience and tasting room with curated selections, specialty coffee shop with micro-roasted coffee, farm-to-table culinary offerings with a regional focus, as well as a rooftop restaurant and terrace providing unmatched views of historic Charleston.
Coined a Southern Renaissance-styled hotel, Grand Bohemian Hotel Charleston is bathed in French elements combined with classical European lines all with a modern Bohemian twist. Guests are greeted in the lobby with 4-foot long fringe chandeliers, a custom backlit stone front desk and velvet drapery. Guest rooms, washed in lavender with splashes of shades of grey and chartreuse as the anchors, boast rich printed drapery, and leather chaise lounges. The bathrooms are dressed with marble vanities that contrast nicely with the custom glass sconces and Italian plank tiled floors.
The dining selection reflects Charleston's low-country backdrop with a garden-inspired rooftop terrace, draped in crystal chandeliers, aquamarine watercolor sheers, and grey washed reclaimed wood. Featuring an assortment of handcrafted cocktails, coastal cuisine and open-air seating, the restaurant overlooks the historic district. Additionally, Grand Bohemian Hotel Charleston is the only hotel in the U.S. to offer a one-of-a-kind wine blending experience. Guests have the opportunity to take home their own customized wine blend and create a personalized label during a 90-minute interactive experience.
At the heart of each Kessler Collection hotel is a celebration of the artistic spirit. Surrounded by the cultural and creative inspiration of Charleston, the property is home to the largest art gallery in The Kessler Collection – Grand Bohemian Gallery, featuring local, regional and internationally recognized artists. At Grand Bohemian Hotel Charleston, art flows throughout the hotel through exhibitions and artist receptions showcasing paintings, sculptures, art glass, ceramics and jewelry, all available for sale.
For the fourth year, Conde Nast Traveler has voted Charleston the No. 1 U.S. City, and No. 2 in the World, in addition to Travel + Leisure ranking Charleston the No. 1 City in the U.S. for the 2nd consecutive year. Located at the corner of Wentworth and Meeting Streets, Grand Bohemian Hotel Charleston is in the center of local landmarks, shopping and dining.
