Emeline

Dogs up to 100 lbs and a treat baked by the pastry chef

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
Emeline sits on Church Street a couple of blocks from the City Market, a design-led hotel built around a courtyard with Clerks Coffee Company on the corner and Frannie & The Fox for wood-fired Italian. The look is collected rather than corporate, lots of art and books. It suits travellers who want a hotel with its own coffee counter and a short walk to the harbour. The weight cap on its own site is unusually high for Charleston.

Why it's in the collection

Joe Riley Waterfront Park is a four-minute walk east, with a shaded promenade along the Cooper River and benches the whole way. Leashed dogs are welcome there, just not in the Pineapple Fountain.

Best suited for

Two dogs per room, up to 100 lbs each, and dogs only.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Pet pricing

USD 200, Per stay, cleaning fee

Dogs are welcome in guest rooms. Cats aren't taken. The team will point you to the dog-friendly tables and parks around Church Street.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
