The Restoration Hotel Christmas Tree Package screams Southern Hospitality in Charleston, SC.
Spend your holidays in the Low Country at The Restoration Hotel, a posh historic hotel in the heart of iconic Charleston.

Chelsea, please elaborate on the Christmas Tree Package and why it’s so much fun?

Our over-sized, apartment-style suites allow our guests to live like a local in Historic Downtown Charleston. The idea for our Christmas Tree package was to make our guests truly feel like they are “home for the holidays”. We offer the tree placed in the room and decorated upon arrival or a DIY kit so our guests can recreate traditions and memories from home.

How did you create a one-of-a-kind experience for your guests?

We are always looking for a way to make our guests feel at home, and even more so during the holidays. We want to be able to share traditions and make new memories with them.

The Restoration Hotel Christmas Tree Package will light up your Charleston holiday getaway.
Brighten your holidays at The Restoration Hotel, Charleston, SC. Experience Southern hospitality at its finest.

What are some of the highlights of your Christmas tree package?


We always tuck a personalized ornament into the tree, either with the guest’s name or something that signifies their trip. We tie a small note to the ornament to let them know to take it with them upon leaving. Our hope is that our guests continue to place this ornament on their tree for years to come, reminding them of their memories of Charleston. Also, upon a requested time, we will deliver Eggnog and Sugar cookies to the guests’ room to get everyone in the Holiday Spirit.

What’s happening in the surrounding community that guests should explore?


There is nothing like Christmas in the Low Country. Our winters are mild so we love to spend time outside. We have our annual Downtown Christmas Parade, the Holiday Market at Marion Square, and my personal favorite is the Holiday Festival of Lights at James Island County Park.

Many thanks to The Restoration Hotel management for participating in our holiday showcase.
