Old Town Bluffton Inn

At the first and only hotel in Old Town, stately palmettos sway in the salt air, French doors open onto brick porches and breezy balconies, and haint blue ceilings and heirloom furnishings capture a story of true Southern hospitality told in an all-new building. Elegant yet unpretentious, the Old Town Bluffton Inn is a modern Lowcountry home for those who like their tea sweet and their oysters local - preferably plucked straight from the May River.

Guest Testimonials

"We had a beautiful stay in January 2025. After a rare snow storm stranded us for an additional night Tess was so accommodating and helpful doing our stay. We loved the beautifully decorated inn and all the yummy snacks, daily breakfast and coffee. Everything was perfect. We arrived to champagne in our room for our anniversary which was so thoughtful. You won’t regret choosing to stay here."

"Coming to the Bluffton Inn is like being welcomed to a fine southern home. The staff treats you with warm and welcoming hospitality. The lobby is inviting and the front porch a wonderful place to take in the feel of an old southern town with contemporary amenities. I will definitely return frequently."

Guest Testimonials

"We would stay here again in a heartbeat! This quaint luxurious Inn has everything you could hope for when looking for an upscale respite. I'm embarrassed to say, I am a hotel snob. The inn met, if not surpassed, my expectations. The inn is immaculate (I mean every nook and cranny), professionally designed, warm, and inviting. No detail overlooked. Its location is in the heart of Old Town Bluffton and just steps away from everything this charming town has to offer. We stayed four nights and can't wait to come back."

Guest Testimonials

"Our recent stay at the Old Town Bluffton Inn exceeded our expectations in every way. The room smelled clean and fresh—neither perfumed nor chemical. The sheets were of high quality and incredibly comfortable. The water pressure was excellent, and hot water was available immediately. The walls and floors were solid, with no creaks or noise from neighboring rooms. We also appreciated the fully stocked coffee and snack bar, which was incredibly convenient as we were often out early and back late. Additionally, the inn's location is perfect, with several outstanding restaurants within walking distance."

Guest Testimonials

"The Old Town Bluffton Inn is a wonderfully charming place! The rooms are all very nicely appointed, and have comfy beds and terrific shower pressure. They have the most delicious chocolate chip cookies and all kinds of other great snacks. But the best part is the friendly and gracious staff. From our first call to make the reservation through our stay and on to check out, staff members were friendly and kind. Highly recommend this wonderful gem!"

"Great weekend retreat! The Inn is relatively new but has an old time charm. Our room was very comfortable. Its location is in the heart of Old Town, so we took a lovely walk and visited some cute shops. Danielle, the owner, was friendly and so helpful. Every morning we had fresh eggs and blueberry crumb cakes."

Guest Testimonials

"Sweetest little hotel. We loved this little hotel. It’s the epitome of southern charm. Not a B&B (which we don’t do) but has a certain personal and welcoming feel. And it’s new, very clean, nicely decorated and in a great location, walkable to restaurants and shopping. Will definitely be back."

"Staying here is an amazing. experience. The rooms are beautifully decorated, the bed is comfortable and the towels are plush. A pantry (no charge) is filled with fresh baked cookies, snacks and beverages and breakfast is a treat with homemade quiche and croissant sandwiches. We will be back!"

Guest Testimonials

"When I walked in feeling kind of foolish for even trying to book on the same day notice you came through with a beautiful room ready for us in just a few short hours! You went out of your way to accommodate us last minute. Your team is amazing, all so friendly. Hindsight is always just that and I should have just reserved a room at the Inn, to begin with. Our stay is always pleasant, our room very comfy, clean, well-appointed, treats galore and of course the Inn located in a great location. We will see you again soon!"

Guest Testimonials

My husband and I just want to thank you and your staff for the wonderful stay we experienced at The Bluffton Inn last week. We arrived on Friday, Feb. 11 from New York. This was our first time ever to Bluffton, S.C. and we could not have chosen a better place to stay. Your staff made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived until the moment we, unfortunately, had to leave. (...) We already miss Bluffton and look forward to returning to The Bluffton Inn sometime in the future.
