Charleston South Carolina is a city that has something for everyone. Whether it's a romantic weekend get away, a family oriented vacation or just a group of friends looking for some R &R this city is able to accommodate just about anything.

While Charleston in the minds of some may be thought of as a quaint little historic city with cobble stone streets, the city does have a night life! One of the greatest things about Charleston's night life is that for the most part driving is not required due to the fact that about 90 percent of the cities trendy lounges, up-scale bars and dance clubs are located within walking distance of each other.

For vacationers that may be interested in exploring the cities night life, selecting the right hotel accommodations may be the first step since Charleston's night life is concentrated in a few small areas of the city, East Bay Street, Market Street and King Street, then it would not only be wise, but convenient as well to book your hotel either on or extremely close to one of these three streets.

There are a variety of fabulous hotels to choose from in the city but there are a couple that seem to offer visitors a chance to really experience the city in a memorable way such as the Market Pavilion Hotel, located at 225 East Bay Street. This hotel not only offers an excellent location as it is located within walking distance to several of the cities hottest night spots, it also has plenty to offer on its premises. Grille 225, which is an upscale dining venue located within the Market Pavilion has fabulous food, a dedicated staff that will make you feel like royalty and last but not least, a rooftop bar/grill complete with a gorgeous pool and breath taking views of the city.

Visitor's that select hotel accommodations at the Market Pavilion or else where on East Bay street are in luck because they have several of the cities trendiest night spots within walking distance to their hotel. Social, a trendy wine bar with a cosmopolitan setting is located at 188 East Bay Street. This venue is a great spot to converse and let loose with friends and offers a large selection of wines of varying flights and an extensive food menu including several gourmet pizzas that complement the wines nicely.
