Highline Hospitality Partners announces July reservations are now open for The Lowline Hotel. Living within the JdV by Hyatt portfolio, a collection of independent, neighborhood-inspired hotels within Hyatt’s Lifestyle Group, The Lowline Hotel is the reimagination of the former Hyatt Place Charleston Historic District, which was acquired by Highline Hospitality Partners with the adjacent Hyatt House in November 2024. Located on the city’s storied King Street, The Lowline Hotel will sit in the center of Charleston’s lively dining, shopping, and cultural scene.
“The Lowline Hotel was created to embody the best elements of one of the country’s most historic and spirited cities. Each element of the hotel was chosen with precision, purpose and intent, ensuring each experience on the property reflects Charleston to the fullest,” said Chuck Pomerantz, Managing Partner of Highline Hospitality Partners in a statement. “While The Lowline aims to appreciate the past, it was important to us to also create a hotel for the modern traveler. We are proud of the property we created and we look forward to welcoming locals and visitors alike to enjoy the charm of Charleston in a new way.”
Designed by Ealain Studio, the hotel’s interiors honor Charleston’s historic maritime heritage through a forward-thinking design inspired by the north easterly Trade Winds. Blending modern and vintage influences, the space incorporates nautical elements throughout, from rich navy walls and deep oak furniture reminiscent of ships at sea to a winding check-in desk that evokes the movement of the ocean.
Stepping into each guest room, the eye is immediately drawn to the focal point of the space, the custom designed and printed headboard. An original print from Ealain Studio, the headboard depicts a stylized version of sandhill cranes, a species local to Charleston representing movement and flight. Once in the room, guests can immerse themselves into a space that was carefully created not just for sleeping, but for living. The room’s unique and stylish sitting area is drenched on all four sides in deep navy blue with a contrasting burnt orange sectional, creating an intimate and comforting sanctuary for relaxing or working throughout the stay. Each room is also adorned with a personal beverage cabinet, crafted from blue-gray marble and finished with brass hardware, making for the perfect place to start a stylish night out or to finish with a nightcap.
Charleston’s architectural character is also reflected throughout the design, creating a harmony between the hotel and the city. Wrought iron arches pay homage to the city’s distinct architectural elements and the craftsmen behind them, creating a seamless transition from downtown Charleston into the property. The restaurant’s patio draws inspiration from the hidden gardens found throughout the city, offering a sensory experience reminiscent of enjoying a quiet moment in a local’s backyard.
“The hotel serves as a living reflection of the city,” said Jacqueline McGee, Principal and Design Director of Ealain Studio. “It is a fun and modern interpretation inspired by Charleston’s history and unique Southern culture. With each design choice, we sought to create distinctive experiences for guests staying at The Lowline Hotel, from sitting under the undulating sails in the hidden garden to admiring the quilted floor tile in Spirited Provisions or meeting the pirates in the Leeward Bar while sipping cocktails beside its sculptural fireplace.”
The hotel will be home to Leeward Restaurant and Leeward Patio, a gathering place for all dining occasions from a casual lunch to a celebratory dinner. With a menu rooted in Charleston’s lowcountry roots, standout dishes include Old Bay Chips with Caramelized Onion Ranch, Chicken & Waffle Sliders with Hot Honey, and Collard Green Frittata.
Lowline Spirited Coffee & Provisions will serve as the hotel’s dedicated cafe and market, serving local Charleston provisions and coffee from PERC Coffee, locally roasted in nearby Savannah, GA. The property will also feature a selection of specialized dining options including The Long Game At Leeward, featuring a golf simulator and large-screen TVs, and Pour Taproom, a rooftop taproom offering more than 70 craft beers.
“The beauty of Southern cuisine is not just in the flavors of a dish, but in the care that is taken in each step of cooking the meal. That care is reflected in every meal at The Lowline, and no matter the occasion, guests are promised the comfort and familiarity of a home cooked meal with loved ones,” said Joey Worley, Director of Food and Beverage at The Lowline Hotel. “The food scene throughout Charleston is vibrant and lively with a rich history, and we are excited to add The Lowline and Leeward to the mix.”
The 197 room hotel will include top amenities, including 8,000 collective square feet of flexible event space, an indoor pool, a fitness center, and convenient valet parking. Guests can now book July stays on The Lowline Hotel website. The hotel is located at 560 King Street, Charleston, SC 29403.
