We absolutely loved our stay at the Palmetto. Staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The hotel was stunning and we loved the light breakfast served in the morning. Definitely the best expresso martinis and old fashions in town.

Southern charm
Thank you for an amazing stay at Palmetto! It was such a beautiful boutique hotel. We loved it! It have such southern charm and vibes. Loved the decor inside, especially the chandelier! There was a bar with a super awesome bartender who served great drinks! We got checked in and our room was lovely and spacious. Bathrooms were huge and the shower was perfect! Bed was super comfortable! In the morning we had fresh juice and drinks and although we only stayed one night we absolutely loved it. It’s also in a perfect location so close to everything !
