The Old Powder Magazine is the only public building remaining from the era of the Lords Proprietors, the eight English aristocrats who owned Carolina from 1670 to 1719.

Charles Town, as the capital and southernmost English settlement on the continent, was strategically important. The town was repeatedly attacked by pirates, marauding Spanish naval vessels, and Indians. Along with the high walls and a moat that surrounded Charles Town, the Powder Magazine, as the principal storehouse of munitions and gunpowder, was crucial for the defense of the city.

"Close to downtown shopping and historical sights"

5/5 Excellent

Gorgeous hotel - a little noisy at night

"Great adult hotel. I was traveling alone and it was perfect. There were a lot of adult couples and older family groups staying there and it is a perfect sunny retreat. My kids wouldn’t have loved the pool area, it’s for cocktails not cannonballs! I found the hallways noisy until past midnight, during the week. It’s a fun hotel - I definitely would have liked a white noise machine."
