Highline Hospitality Partners announces the forthcoming debut of The Lowline Hotel, a signature lifestyle property set to open in early summer 2026. The project marks the full renovation and reimagining of the former Hyatt Place Charleston Historic District, acquired—along with the adjacent Hyatt House Charleston Historic District —by Highline Hospitality Partners in November 2024.

The Lowline Hotel will be among the first properties in the southeastern United States to join JdV by Hyatt, an independent lifestyle collection within Hyatt*. Embodying the brand’s ethos of joie de vivre—the joy of life—the hotel is designed to reflect the character, creativity, and cultural heartbeat of the neighborhood it calls home.

Anchored on Charleston’s vibrant King Street—widely regarded as the city’s premier hospitality and retail corridor—The Lowline Hotel occupies one of the peninsula’s most desirable addresses. The stretch just south of Spring Street has emerged as a thriving hub of culinary innovation, design-forward retail, and cultural energy—where Charleston’s community and its visitors naturally converge. The hotel will also offer immediate access to the Lowcountry Lowline, a planned linear park and multi-use trail designed to expand green space and pedestrian connectivity across downtown Charleston.

“The Lowline Hotel represents the convergence of design, culture, and elevated hospitality in one of the nation’s most storied cities,” said Chuck Pomerantz, Managing Partner of Highline Hospitality Partners. “Our vision was to create a property that is not only reflective of Charleston’s rich heritage but also anticipates the evolving expectations of today’s discerning traveler. Every detail has been considered to deliver a sense of place, a connection to community, and an experience that feels both authentic and transformative.”

Featuring 197 thoughtfully designed guest rooms and suites, The Lowline Hotel blends comfort, creativity, and local inspiration. Planned amenities include:

• A signature indoor/outdoor bar and restaurant celebrating Charleston’s culinary culture, designed as a secluded secret garden oasis with lush greenery and seamless open-air flow.
• A private dining room equipped with a golf simulator.
• A spirited coffee shop with local provisions.
• An indoor swimming pool.
• Nearly 8,000 square feet of flexible event space for corporate gatherings, social celebrations, and weddings.

With a design narrative that honors Charleston’s heritage while embracing modern lifestyle hospitality, The Lowline Hotel is poised to become both a distinctive destination for travelers and a vibrant gathering place for the local community.
