Aspen One, parent company of world-class brands including Aspen Snowmass, The Little Nell, Limelight Hotels, and Aspen Collection, is excited to announce the latest addition to its rapidly-growing Limelight Hotels brand. This new venture, set to open in 2028, will feature both a hotel and branded residential project located in Charleston, South Carolina. This marks the Limelight brand’s first property on the East Coast, and it will be located at 306 King Street and 86 Society Street in the core of Charleston’s historic district, near the College of Charleston. Limelight Charleston will be another remarkable hotel within the Limelight portfolio, which includes locations in the most desirable places across the country, within premium, high-barrier-to-entry, leisure markets.
The 50-room Limelight Charleston will include the brand’s quintessential “living room” – a gathering place and community destination featuring dynamic programming for locals and guests alike – and its celebrated, design-forward approach to development. The mixed-use project will feature a restaurant, bar, rooftop pool and dining, meeting spaces, 16 private residences, and a parking garage.
This new property is being developed in partnership with Category Company. Limelight’s expansion to Charleston will mark the brand’s seventh location. The modern hotel and residences will join others within the Limelight portfolio in Aspen, Snowmass, Denver, and Ketchum, with two more hotels slated to open this year: Limelight Boulder (opening late summer in Boulder, Colo.); and Limelight Mammoth (opening this winter in Mammoth, Calif.). While the company has taken a measured approach to growth, focusing exclusively on top markets, the brand has grown from three open locations as of early 2023, to seven open or in-development locations. Each property is known for being in the best location within their respective markets.
