The Nickel Hotel Opens in Charleston with Courtyard Lounging, Rooftop Views, and Bespoke Interiors
There’s a fresh rhythm beating through Charleston’s historic King Street, and it comes courtesy of The Nickel Hotel. Nestled in the creative heart of the Cannonborough neighborhood, this brand-new 50-room boutique property is a tribute to Charleston’s charm, wrapped in the chic sensibility of modern design. It’s the latest triumph from Method Co., the hospitality minds behind The Pinch, and it’s clear from the moment the hand-clipped marble mosaic glints in the lobby: this one’s something special.
The Nickel gets its name from its perch on the 500 block of King Street (locals will know the nickname), but the name also hints at something deeper, a subtle nod to the idea of time well spent. And that’s exactly what unfolds behind its doors.
Architectural elegance runs deep here. Designed by Method’s own Method Studios in collaboration with NYC’s Morris Adjmi Architects, the building channels Charleston’s iconic character but filters it through a modern lens. The lobby captures this spirit from the first step inside – think checkerboard marble floors, hand-painted porcelain plaster, and a grand antique French tapestry that practically begs for a slow gaze. It’s the kind of entrance that announces, without ever raising its voice, that this is not an ordinary stay.
