Nestled in the splendor of palmettos, most-draped oak, and towering magnolias is a place of elegance, comfort, and gracious hospitality.
A place that combines Southern charm with an Old World standard in a setting that will take your breath away. A step ahead in luxury, and a step back in time.
This is Charleston's luxury resort. This is Woodlands Resort & Inn.

There is no "typical" room at Woodlands. Tucked away in corners throughout the manor are nineteen individually decorated rooms and romantic suites.  
New York designer David Eskell-Briggs created a special signature for each one in a gracious interplay of texture, color and art.
Here, luxury is a necessity and everything, everywhere, reflects it - from the glow of a fire in an antique fireplace to the glimmer of gold on a gilt-edged mirror.

Woodlands' crown jewel, a five star restaurant known round the world for its spectacular regional menu and stellar service.
On any given day, you'll find our Executive Chef Tarver King meeting with various local farmers, ranchers and fishmongers to find the day's freshest foods. These will become inspiration for the new menus he designs daily.
Sommelier Stephanne Peltier presides over 900 selections of wine, many of them old and rare bottles. In fact, Woodlands wine collection was recently rated one of the country's very best by Wine Spectator magazine.

Because Woodlands is so conducive to romance, weddings here are extraordinary. Ceremonies and receptions can be performed in classic settings ranging from the Wedding Lawn, accented by a Victorian-era gazebo, to the open-air Pavilion, surrounded by Charleston-brick terraces and gardens.

Our heated pool is open year-round and is set among the trees to offer you the privacy and intimacy you'd expect on your own personal estate.  

Our day spa services will spoil you. Our English red-clay tennis courts will challenge you. And our antique croquet lawn will charm you with the memory of a time gone by.

This wonderful location - near enough to the hustle and bustle of Charleston yet far enough away to hear the breeze through the ancient oaks - puts you in an excellent position for enjoying the magic of Coastal Carolina.  

And our temperate climate means the weather is ideal to experience its beauty year-round.   Woodlands' concierge staff can arrange guided hunting and fishing excursions at a private hunting preserve, tours of the stately Ashley River plantations and visits to historic Charleston for shopping...or even a carriage ride.  

Woodlands' location in the historic village of Summerville is another bonus - a reminder of the area's turn-of-the-century legacy as an internationally acclaimed health resort.

We have preferred relationships with some of the country's most challenging courses and can arrange tee-times for you and your group whenever you wish.
