Constructed in 1804 in Charleston, South Carolina, the Zero George Street hotel is a bright, quaint community of sixteen studios and suites enclaved together throughout five historical residential buildings. The hotel’s effortless blend of European chic with Southern charm provides the perfect aesthetic to accentuate the Charlestonian breezes, vintage settings, and overall easy air of the nook in which the hotel is nestled.

Here, relaxation is encouraged, but comfort is guaranteed. Each room, modeled after the simple elegance of European luxury. Lofty beds with Sealy posturepedic mattresses, triple-sheeted Italian frette linens, and foam and down alternative pillows make parting with the bed a sweet sorrow. Yet, if you gain the resolve to throw back the covers, many more amenities await around the Zero George's historic property.

Enjoy the complimentary continental European breakfast on the furnished outdoor piazza, or reflectively sip wine around the cast iron fountains and the statuesque palmetto palms of the hotel’s garden courtyard. After a long day of do-nothingness, stop by the Zero George Restaurant + Bar to try the tasty creations of Food-Network-featured and world-renowned Head Chef Vinson Petrillo.

Tantalize your tastebuds with the flavors of dishes such as Parmesan Tortellini, Herb Roasted Cervena Venison, and Whole Roasted Kabocha Squash. To try your own hand in the luxury experience, enroll in one of the three-course cooking classes the Zero George Restaurant + Bar invite both the general public and hotel guests to partake in.

Afterward, once the inviting call of Charleston becomes too enticing to resist, step out into the city and enjoy the sights it has to offer. Sink your toes into the sands of Charleston’s five beaches for an afternoon of relaxation. For a course in history, walk the footsteps the past has carved at the Magnolia Plantations and Gardens, Fort Sumter and Patriots Point Military Museum, or Charleston’s Museum of regional artifacts.

If a change of scenery is what you want, and a weekend of repose is what you need, fall into the open embrace of Charleston’s Zero George Street hotel. Let the charming, airy atmosphere of the city wrap itself around as your responsibilities fade and your worries cease to exist.
