Located in Charleston’s vibrant Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood, The Jonathan Jasper Wright Inn is a Black-owned boutique Inn B&B offering a stylish, residential alternative to a traditional hotel stay. Set in the heart of downtown Charleston, the inn provides easy access to King Street, the city’s celebrated restaurants, historic neighborhoods and African American cultural attractions.
The intimate property offers just two distinctive accommodations—the Cannonborough Suite and the larger Elliotborough Apartment—each with its own private entrance.
The Cannonborough Suite offers an intimate retreat with restored hardwood floors, a queen-size iron bed, marble shower and private outdoor sitting area.
For guests looking for additional space, the Elliotborough Apartment features a separate bedroom, full kitchen, dining area, sofa bed and private open-air piazza. Accommodating up to four guests, it works particularly well for couples, small families and travelers planning a longer Charleston stay.
The Jonathan Jasper Wright Inn combines the character of a small independent inn with the convenience of a downtown Charleston location. Guests are approximately five minutes from King Street by car and within easy reach of Charleston’s historic district, restaurants, shopping and cultural attractions.
For travelers interested in Charleston’s deep African American history and Gullah Geechee heritage, the inn also provides a locally owned base for exploring the people, neighborhoods and institutions that helped shape the city.
The Jonathan Jasper Wright Inn is a Black-owned independent Charleston inn. Its identity also carries an important connection to African American history through its namesake, Jonathan Jasper Wright, a pioneering Black attorney, politician and jurist who became the first African American to serve on the South Carolina Supreme Court.
The inn’s combination of Black ownership, local hospitality and connection to Charleston’s African American heritage makes it a particularly meaningful lodging choice for travelers seeking to support Black-owned businesses while visiting the city.
