From the reviews
Easily one of the top 3 hotels I’ve stayed at in the past 20 years. This place perfects what an authentic Charleston experience should be—exceptional accommodations, curated boutique shopping, and seriously delicious food, all right there basically on the same property. But here’s what really sets it apart: the staff.
The Crown Jewel of the Marriott Portfolio - As a Lifetime Marriott Titanium Elite member, I've stayed at countless properties worldwide, but The Andell Inn is the finest hotel in the entire Marriott portfolio. What truly sets this property apart are the employees including Marisa, the Assistant General Manager.
Getting married at Charleston Kiawah Island/Andell Inn
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
