West of the Ashley Hotels

West Ashley. . . It was, "West of the Ashley" when Charleston was only peninsular Charleston, and especially when there were no bridges joining Charleston to her nearby neighbors, West of the Ashley and East of the Cooper. West Ashley is rising in popularity to people relocating to the Charleston area due largely to its proximity to the historic district, but also because the beaches are so near. You can follow Ashley River Road, Rt 61 West and North and you'll find some beautiful riverfront neighborhoods as well as three plantations that are open to the public. For visitors, there are several riverfront hotels, some of which offer marvelous views and all of which allow you convenient access to both the historic district and beaches, but without the hefty price tag. The Round Holiday Inn as she is known to locals is a popular spot for lodging, dining and nightlife offering the city's best high-rise view of Charleston's waterways.
