Historic 86 Church Street - A three-story historic house with private cottages and courtyard in Downtown Charleston

Built by Isaac Mazyck III after the 1778 fire, this Charleston hotel preserves authentic period features including a wide fan-lighted entry and a second-floor drawing room. Historic 86 Church Street offers accommodation in original servant quarters and kitchen buildings surrounding a private courtyard. The property features one-bedroom and two-bedroom cottages, each equipped with full kitchens, living areas, and private bathrooms with bath or shower options. All cottages include fireplaces, air conditioning, and free WiFi throughout. The one-bedroom unit contains a king-size bed upstairs with living and dining spaces below, while the two-bedroom option provides a king bed and two twin beds. Located in Charleston city center opposite the Heyward-Washington House, the property stands within 0.5 miles of Rainbow Row, Charleston City Market, and Pineapple Fountain. Several dining options lie within walking distance, including Oak Steakhouse (0.5 miles), Blind Tiger Pub (0.5 miles), and Magnolias (0.5 miles).

“This historic property, dating back to 1778, offers a genuine taste of Charleston; its cottages, complete with full kitchens, provide ample space and convenience. I especially appreciate its prime French Quarter location, directly opposite the Heyward-Washington House, and the personalized history tours. A stay here promises immersion into Charleston's rich cultural tapestry.”
