The setting
Market Pavilion Hotel sits toward the east of French Quarter in Charleston. Waterfront Park is about 3 minutes on foot, Charleston City Market is about 4 minutes on foot, and Pineapple Fountain is roughly 4 minutes' walk. Charleston's French Quarter is the peninsula's oldest plot: cobblestones, church spires, and inns that open onto the Harbor and the Market. Gaslight and palmettos; a jacket still makes sense after a humid day. 1 mile from South Carolina Aquarium.
