ORLANDO, FLA. – The Kessler Collection, a portfolio of 10 artistically-inspired boutique hotels and restaurants, is excited to debut in South Carolina, with the opening of Grand Bohemian Hotel Charleston in summer 2015.

Coined a Southern Renaissance-styled hotel, Grand Bohemian Hotel Charleston is bathed in French elements combined with classical European lines all with a modern Bohemian twist. Guests are greeted in the lobby with 4-foot long fringe chandeliers, a custom backlit stone front desk and velvet drapery. Guest rooms, washed in lavender with splashes of shades of grey and chartreuse as the anchors, boast rich printed drapery, and leather chaise lounges. The bathrooms are dressed with marble vanities that contrast nicely with the custom glass sconces and Italian plank tiled floors.
The dining selection reflects Charleston’s low-country backdrop with a garden-inspired rooftop terrace, draped in crystal chandeliers, aquamarine watercolor sheers, and grey washed reclaimed wood. Featuring an assortment of handcrafted cocktails, coastal cuisine and open-air seating, the restaurant overlooks the historic district.
