4. Bikes For Borrowing

We can’t think of a better way to see Charleston than by beach cruiser. Borrow one of ours (complete with basket to stow sunscreen and souvenirs) and head to the bike-friendly Arthur Ravenel Jr Bridge for postcard harbor and city views.

5. Sweet Tea, Snacks and More

You can’t pass through the lobby of the French Quarter Inn without stopping to sample a refreshing selection of flavored iced teas, infused waters, sweet and savory snacks, and seriously good coffee (served 24/7). Help yourself!
