The date is set. The Cooper, a highly anticipated luxury hotel, is making its debut on Charleston Harbor next spring and will officially host overnight guests for the first time on Sunday, March 1.
The city’s first luxury waterfront hotel will be located just steps away from Joe Riley Waterfront Park and boast 191 guest rooms (including 20 suites) curated by designers Champalimaud Design and Atelier Kim.
The Cooper will also offer more than 20,000 sqft of indoor and outdoor event space for weddings, meetings, and other celebrations. We’re eyeing the stunning grand lawn, which can accommodate 400 guests.
Other hotel highlights include:
- Rooftop infinity pool with cabanas
- 7,000-sqft spa
- Recovery Room
- Fitness center
- On-site marina with a fleet of luxury vessels (including a Hinckley yacht), for guest excursions, dinner cruises, and private events
Executive Chef Nick Dugan, who also serves Sorelle, will oversee The Cooper’s food and beverage concepts, which include:
The Crossing: This is the hotel’s signature restaurant, which blends Mediterranean flavors and Southern hospitality. This spot will have 196 seats, a bar, a raw bar, a private dining room, and a chef’s table.
CurrentBurger: Think classic soda shop, with a menu of smash burgers, fries, milkshakes, and ice cream. This spot will also have a walk-up window so you can take your food on the go.
Cooper Coffee & Wine: This all-day cafe will overlook The Cooper Marina, and offer coffee and breakfast in the morning, and become an intimate wine bar by evening.
Bar Marti: Located on the fourth floor, this will be a guests-only poolside bar and food spot.
