During our July visit to Charleston, we hoped to avoid the heat by exploring primarily early in the morning and late at night. To minimize travel and take advantage of the photographic ‘golden’ hours, we decided to stay in the Historic District at the Holiday Inn.

As an award winning “Best Hidden Gem” in the city, our stay at the Holiday Inn Charleston Historic District was fantastic. Included in their many services was that of concierge Kevin McQuade. His services were proactive and included fresh, original and a little off the beaten path suggestions. With his customized map we saved valuable time and photographed places known only to locals. In the end, we found ourselves saying, “You know what? It was a different and more interesting trip, because of them.” Thanks for the experience.
