The hotel was developed by RREAF Holdings, a commercial real estate firm and will be managed by New Castle Hotels & Resorts, a leading third-party hotel management firm.
“With its charm, local shops, beaches, and renowned cuisine, it’s no wonder why Charleston was ranked number one for eight-straight years by Conde Nast Traveler as the top tourism destination in the country,” said Kip Snowden, CEO of RREAF Holdings. “We look forward to building on that recognition and providing visitors with an experience that exceeds their expectations with all of the upscale amenities that make for a memorable stay.”
