Our Local's Guide to Downtown Charleston
Exploring Charleston from 360 King
Charleston reveals itself best on foot - through its cobblestone streets, shaded courtyards, and the hum of King Street life. Staying at 360 King means you’re surrounded by some of the city’s best cafés, restaurants, and bars, all within an easy walk.
Every place on our list is close enough to wander to, making it simple to experience the city’s charm without ever needing to get in a car. Of course, if you’re in the mood to venture farther afield, some of Charleston’s magic lies beyond downtown - from its beaches to its marsh side restaurants and sunset spots. Your free parking space makes it easy to head out for the day and slip right back into bed when you return.
Local Coffee Shops
Charleston does coffee with character. Around King Street and the nearby blocks, you’ll find small cafés where design, craft, and a sense of ease come together. Each has its own rhythm - the kind of places where mornings begin slowly and locals greet each other by name.
Breakfast Charleston Style
Mornings in Charleston deserve to be savored. From neighborhood cafés to tucked-away spots serving Southern favorites, breakfast downtown feels both familiar and special - a slow start before a day spent exploring on foot.
Babas on Cannon *Top Pick*
11 Cannon St - 15 min walk from 360 King
Mentioned in our coffee picks for good reason, Babas is equally inviting at breakfast. Pair your espresso with the best avocado toast or breakfast burrito or tart, and enjoy the calm, corner-side atmosphere before the day begins in earnest.
Lazy Lunches
By midday, Charleston’s energy shifts. Sidewalk tables fill up, kitchens turn out simple plates done exceptionally well, and conversation drifts into the streets. These are our go-to lunch spots nearby, perfect for refueling before you wander further.
Spots for Dinner
Evenings downtown have a glow of their own. With candlelit dining rooms, fresh seafood, and creative menus, dinner here is a celebration of Charleston’s easy sophistication - all within walking distance of your suite.
Late Night Cocktails
As the day winds down, Charleston’s bars come alive - some hidden, some lively, all with their own charm. From classic martinis to inspired infusions, each of these spots offers a perfect way to end (or extend) the evening just steps from 360 King.
