Planters Inn

European style gets the “y’all” treatment at Planters Inn. The intimate 64-room Relais & Chateaux property, originally built in 1844 as Honig Dry Goods Store, pampers guests as if they were taking up residence in a genteel Southern home―one with Italian marble baths, 10-foot ceilings, and an impressive collection of sweetgrass baskets. Be sure to stop into Peninsula Grill, where chef Robert Carter serves his 10-layer coconut cake. You’ll leave Planters Inn thinking you owe someone a thank-you note.
