Favorite snapshots from a charming stay at @hvicharleston hotel in @explorecharleston 🌴🦀 🌊 ☀️

Hey all! I finally went on my first trip of the year earlier this month with my mom to explore more of my favorite region in the U.S.: the Southeast!

Our first stop was the adorable city of Charleston, South Carolina. Our cozy home during our time there was the @hvicharleston hotel. Centrally located downtown across from Waterfront Park, this luxury @aaa_national 4-diamond boutique property features multiple rooms with harbor and park views, valet parking, a personalized daily complimentary breakfast, daily wine and charcuterie reception, a free historic walking tour, and a nightly milk and cookie reception (so cute!).

It’s also within walking distance to many of Charleston’s most popular landmarks including the Pineapple Fountain (1 minute), Rainbow Row (7 minutes), the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon (5 minutes), and the Charleston City Market (9 minutes).

I can’t wait to share more about my stay here as well as all the things I did in and around the city during my 4 days there! Be sure to check out my Charleston stories and highlight badge to see how you can book a stay here on your next Charleston adventure.

$5 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙤𝙜𝙖, 𝙏𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙚: 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙩 2! If I learned anything during my recent trip to @visitchatt, it’s that there’s so much more to the city than meets the eye. It’s home to some of the most popular attractions in the US, sure, but it also boasts plenty of hidden gems and unique local experiences. Add these 5 locations to your Chattanooga itinerary (you won’t regret it!): - Tennessee Aquarium @tennesseeaquarium. Home to more than 12,000 animals representing close to 800 species, it features two sections (Ocean and River) and is one of the largest aquariums in the U.S. - 1885 Grill @1885grillstelmo. This southern coastal restaurant specializes in fresh seafood, high quality steaks, and comforting soul food. Order their wings with Carolina Gold BBQ! - Rock City Gardens @seerockcity. Located on Lookout Mountain, Rock City Gardens features a 4,100-foot Enchanted Trail with incredible rock formations, magical caves, native plant species, waterfalls, and a panoramic view of Seven States! - Massey’s Kitchen @masseyskitchenlookout. This Mediterranean inspired restaurant just opened in June and is Chattanooga’s new hot spot. The food is incredible and their outdoor patio is perfect for dining al fresco. Order the baked feta 🤤 - The Read House Hotel @readhousehotel. This historic jazz era hotel from the 1870’s has hosted famous people including Oprah, Winston Churchill, Walt Disney, and Elvis Presley. It’s even rumored to have a permanent guest — a ghost in room 311! Keep an eye out for Part 3 and let me know which location you would visit first! 🇺🇸 {ad} #hosted ___________________ #VisitChatt #VisitChattanooga #Chattanoooga #ChattanoogaTN #onlyinTennessee #tennesseeaquarium #tnvacation • southeast U.S. • U.S. road trip • visit the U.S. • United States travel •$
