Aspen One announces Limelight Charleston, a hotel and residences, set to open in 2028

Limelight Charleston is Aspen One’s first East Coast property and seventh location, set to bring the Holy City a new hotel and residences.

A grand, multi-story building with classic architecture anchors a lively street scene at dusk. Tall windows, ornate detailing, and warm interior lights give it an inviting glow. Trees line the sidewalk, where people stroll past ground-floor shops.

Limelight Charleston will be nestled in the Holy City’s historic district, near the College of Charleston.

We found a new spot for your next staycation. Are you busy in 2028? That’s when Aspen One will expand its Limelight Hotels brand to the East Coast with a Holy City location.

Let’s get an early start to introducing you to Limelight Charleston, which will be located at 306 King St. and 86 Society St. and feature both a 50-room hotel and residential project.

The space will include a communal gathering space, dubbed the “living room,” featuring programming for locals and guests alike. The project will bring a restaurant, bar, rooftop pool + dining, meeting spaces, 16 private residences, and a parking garage to the historic district.

Fun fact: The expansion to Charleston will mark the brand’s seventh location, joining Aspen, Snowmass, Denver, Ketchum, Boulder, and Mammoth in the Limelight portfolio.
