The Ryder Hotel

Designed as a sunlit, elevated sanctuary, the Palm Suite is the ultimate hospitality space for pre-wedding prep, bridal brunches, or intimate gatherings. Featuring stylish rattan armchairs, a plush sectional sofa, an elegant dining table, and a private balcony overlooking Meeting Street, this urban oasis blends home-like comfort with boutique sophistication. Bathed in natural light, it provides a picture-perfect setting for your wedding party to sip champagne, enjoy catered bites from Little Palm, and relax before walking down the aisle.

The Backyard brings relaxed island energy and coastal elegance to the heart of Charleston. Adorned with twinkling café lights, lush tropical greenery, a serene waterfall feature, and a cozy outdoor fireplace, this open-air courtyard is ideal for intimate ceremonies, cocktail receptions, and welcome parties.
