Anchorage Inn The building in which the Anchorage Inn is located at 26 Vendue Range, carries a history rife with fortunes being made and lost in the 1800s as a once a bustling cotton warehouse in the old days of the south. Following the decline of the southern cotton industry, the warehouse was left empty for some time until the building was given new albeit short-lived identity as a brokerage firm in the 1950s. Another renaissance for the structure came in 1991 when the doors reopened as the Anchorage Inn and the building was transformed in its most recent renovation in 2006 to update the intimate, stately venue for guests who prefer to anchor in the hub of Charleston's activity.
The reception area indicates a most hearty welcome to guests with its rich, open stairway adorned with sturdy wooden handrail and loft guard railing. The scent of the Inn's signature fresh cut, diamondgazer lilies greet visitors as they enter the Anchorage Inn welcoming them to their temporary safe harbor. Solid wooden floors and tasteful wood paneling further the sensation that one is sheltered in a building that has seen centuries of history and weathered all nature has dealt through those centuries. The very name of the Anchorage Inn, which is just steps away from the waterfront, gives meaning that seafaring folk would come into harbor and drop anchor to breath relief that they were safely in port.
