Now Open: The Lowline Hotel, First JdV by Hyatt Hotel in South Carolina

The JdV by Hyatt brand, alongside Highline Hospitality Partners, has announced the opening of The Lowline Hotel, now welcoming its first guests to Charleston.

The Lowline Hotel is a reimagination of the former Hyatt Place Charleston Historic District, which was acquired by Highline Hospitality Partners with the adjacent Hyatt House hotel in November 2024.

Located on King Street, The Lowline Hotel places guests within walking distance of Charleston's restaurants, cocktail bars, boutiques, galleries, and landmarks. The hotel serves as an ideal home base for experiencing the best of Charleston.

"The Lowline Hotel was created to embody the best elements of one of the country's most historic and spirited cities,” said Chuck Pomerantz, Managing Partner of Highline Hospitality Partners. “Every detail was considered with precision, purpose, and intent to create an experience that feels distinctly Charleston. We wanted to create a hotel that feels rooted in Charleston while reflecting the way people travel today. Whether guests are visiting for a weekend getaway, celebrating a special occasion, or discovering Charleston for the first time, we hope The Lowline becomes part of the memories they make here."

Designed by Ealain Studio, The Lowline Hotel draws inspiration from Charleston's maritime heritage, architecture, and the movement of the North Easterly Trade Winds. Rich navy tones, warm oak finishes, sculptural forms, and layered materials subtly reference ships at sea.

A winding check-in desk anchors the arrival experience as a nod to coastal movement. Guestrooms are designed to feel more like private residences than traditional hotel accommodations. Each room is centered around a custom headboard featuring stylized sandhill cranes native to the region, while a marble beverage cabinet finished with brass hardware offers guests a place to unwind before dinner or after a day exploring Charleston.

"The hotel serves as a living reflection of the city," said Jacqueline McGee, Principal and Design Director of Ealain Studio. "It's a modern interpretation inspired by Charleston's history and Southern culture. With each decision, we focused on creating experiences that feel distinctive to guests staying at The Lowline Hotel."

Dining, Gathering, and Social Spaces

The Lowline's collection of dining and social spaces offers something for every part of the day. Leeward Restaurant and Leeward Patio serve Lowcountry-inspired cuisine in a lively setting. Lowline Spirited Coffee & Provisions features coffee from Savannah-based PERC Coffee alongside grab-and-go offerings, while The Long Game at Leeward offers a private social entertainment space featuring a golf simulator, large-screen TVs, and full access to Leeward's food and cocktail menu. Guests can also enjoy rooftop views of the Charleston skyline at Pour Taproom, which offers a curated selection of local and regional craft beers. Specialty programming, including a daily 4 p.m. Martini Hour and 11 p.m. Snack Hour, adds another layer to the guest experience.
