Holiday Glow in Charleston

Available November 1, 2026 through January 8, 2027

The Ryder simply glows during the holidays. Little Pine returns with its cozy holiday ski huts, the hotel embraces the warmth of the season, and Charleston’s Historic District shines just beyond our doors.

Come for a weekend with friends, a holiday trip for two, or a family getaway before the year ends. Between Charleston plans, there’s plenty waiting back at The Ryder, from holiday cocktails at Little Palm to fireside chats with your favorite people.

Our Charleston holiday hotel package includes a minimum 2-night stay with festive gifts:

  • Up to 20% Off Room Rates: Stay in the heart of Charleston and save up to 20% on your room rate throughout the holiday season.
  • $100 Dining Credit: Your stay includes $100 to spend on food and drinks at The Ryder. Start at The Coffee Counter, head to Little Palm, or reserve a signature holiday experience at Little Pine.
  • The Ryder Signature Candle: You know the scent when you walk through the doors. The Ryder’s signature candle is yours to take home and enjoy its warm glow all season long.

Terms & Conditions: A minimum two-night stay is required. The $100 dining credit is per reservation and applies only to food and beverages consumed during the stay; it cannot be used for other charges or redeemed for cash. Rates are per room, per night, excluding taxes, gratuities, and other charges. Not valid for groups of 10 or more rooms per night or in combination with other offers. Subject to availability and change; blackout dates may apply. Cancel by 4:00 pm local time at least 72 hours before arrival to avoid a one-night room-and-tax penalty. Early departure incurs one additional night’s room and tax. Reservations require a valid credit card. A $100-per-night incidental hold applies at check-in, with unused funds released at checkout.

A Holiday Stay in Downtown Charleston, Your Way

  • For two: shop King Street in the afternoon, walk the Historic District after dinner, and finish the night by the fire at Little Pine.
  • For friends: book a Little Pine ski hut for up to six and put the dining credit toward the first round.
  • For the family: sleep in, then let everyone pick their own treat at The Coffee Counter.

Why Stay at The Ryder for the Holidays

Location does a lot of the work. We're at 237 Meeting Street, one block from King Street and a short walk to the City Market, Marion Square and the Historic District's holiday lights. Park the car and forget about it.

Then there's Little Pine. From November 9 through January 31, Little Palm turns into an après-ski pop-up with private ski huts, fire pits, chocolate fondue, spiked eggnog and a winter cocktail menu. Ski sweaters under palm trees. It works better than it sounds.

Your $100 credit covers food and drinks at The Coffee Counter, Little Palm and Little Pine. And Charleston winters are mild, so bring a jacket for the walk to dinner and leave the snow boots at home.

Plan Your Charleston Holiday Weekend

A few things worth building the weekend around:

  • Little Pine at Little Palm, right here at the hotel
  • Holiday shopping on King Street, one block away
  • The City of Charleston's annual Holiday Parade and Tree Lighting in Marion Square, within walking distance
  • The annual Holiday Festival of Lights at James Island County Park, about 20 minutes by car
