Pink Palace


      WOW,  this 1848 mansion in Charleston is really called the Palmer Home and it is where Elizabeth and I stayed while attending the Innkeeping Conference. You can see why we called it the Pink Palace! What an amazing place. It is consistently voted one of the best B&Bs in the country and is still run by a descendant of the original owner.            
                                                     My room is on the top floor on the far right.



It is a charming little bay window with just enough room for a bed and stunning views of the harbor from all of the 12 foot tall windows [when the shutters were open]. Above is sunrise from my bed and this is my bed side table lamp. It was just a treat to go to bed or to wake up in that room! Our suite also opened right on to the "piazza" which ran the whole length of the building. It was a lovely place to sit at night after the conference and sip a glass of wine while the light faded over the harbor and the ships sailed into the bay.










                  We had breakfast every morning in the "drawing room" of the Palmer Home.
                                      I tell you we felt like true Southern Belles!!!!
