Although we are landlocked, and no matter how much we enjoy our city lifestyle, going off the grid is not the worst sentence. Just across the state border, Greenville is a booming center for tourism, however, if you venture to find its tranquil access to nature, then you will find the charming offerings of the lowcountry. Minutes from downtown, you will find Hotel Hartness. Historically a family estate, it has been transformed into a coveted destination for its merging of luxury accommodations in a rural environment. Imagine rolling pastures, bodies of water, and untouched woodlands. Then, combine this idyllic setting with amenities that will leave you in awe.

Aside from the 73 bespoke guest rooms, you may dine at their Patterson Kitchen + Bar or check out their more intimate Captain Bar. “With its prime location, resort-style amenities, and highly personalized level of service currently not offered in the market, Hotel Hartness is a tremendous asset to Greenville and the upstate,” says Albert Mertz, general manager of Hotel Hartness.
