The Iris
88% independentThe Iris occupies a quiet stretch of Line Street in downtown Charleston, trading the usual hotel formula for a handful of apartment-style quarters with full kitchens and furnishings that feel more lived-in than lobby-issued. The mood is contemporary and unhurried — the sort of place where you buy produce at the market in the morning and cook it yourself that evening. Guests have been unusually effusive, giving it a 4.9 across nearly 400 reviews.
Why we call this independent
The singular, non-corporate name and a standalone website for one Charleston address (irischarleston.com) point to an independent operation, and the small apartment-hotel format with full kitchens suggests a limited unit count. No multi-property or brand-flag signals appear in the data, though nothing explicitly confirms family ownership or historic status.
