The Vendue

About

We’ve been a part of this city’s story since the 1780’s. Originally, a thriving marketplace, we are happy to have evolved into one of Charleston’s most unique and stylish historic boutique hotels. While the bones might be old, our vibe is modern, playful and well suited for today’s tasteful traveler. 

The name, 'The Vendue', comes from the vendue masters (or auctioneers) who worked in the area. French merchants utilized The Vendue, originally known as Prioleau's Wharf, to conduct trade. Prioleau's Wharf quickly became a favorite until the trade business halted at the onset of the Civil War.
