Spring Travel at The Restoration Hotel
Charleston Blooms & Asheville Mountain Season
Spring at The Restoration Hotel
As Spring arrives differently in every destination, in Charleston, South Carolina, it unfolds through soft color, garden paths, and unhurried mornings across the historic district. In Asheville, North Carolina, spring signals the return of Blue Ridge Mountain hiking season, scenic drives, and creative energy that flows through downtown streets again.
At The Restoration Hotel, spring is more than a season to visit. It becomes a way to experience each city at its most alive. From March through May, longer days and mild temperatures create the perfect rhythm for exploring, unwinding, and settling into a stay that feels personal.

Spring by the Coast: Charleston in Bloom
Historic Streets Come Alive with Color
Spring in Charleston transforms the historic district into a living garden. Window boxes fill with seasonal blooms, pastel facades glow in soft light, and hidden courtyards reveal layers of history. Azaleas, jasmine, and wisteria frame the city’s architecture, creating a landscape that feels both timeless and vibrant.
Guests staying at The Restoration Hotel experience this seasonal shift from the center of downtown. King Street’s design shops, galleries, and cafés remain just steps away, allowing mornings to begin slowly and afternoons to unfold naturally.
Spring travel in Charleston invites exploration on foot. Comfortable weather encourages visitors to wander through waterfront paths, historic neighborhoods, and open air markets that define the character of the season.

Slow Mornings and Open Air Evenings
Spring encourages a softer pace that moves from quiet mornings to golden evenings.
Rooftop Pool Mornings

Afternoon Energy
Patios reopen and rooftop spaces welcome longer afternoons. Golden hour arrives gradually at The Watch Rooftop, where seasonal menus and skyline views reflect Charleston’s relaxed spring atmosphere.
Evenings That Unwind Naturally
Wine and cheese socials offer a moment to connect, while harbor walks provide a calm close to the day. This balance between city energy and residential comfort defines spring travel at The Restoration Hotel.
