Service-oriented hospitality company Drury Hotels has initiated construction on a new Drury Plaza Hotel in North Charleston, South Carolina, US.

This addition marks the company's second property in South Carolina and its seventh in the Carolinas.

The hotel at 2934 West Montague Avenue is less than ten miles from downtown Charleston and Daniel Island, as well as three miles from Charleston International Airport. 

It will feature 252 guest rooms and offer 3,600ft² of meeting space, which can accommodate events of up to 400 attendees.

This programme also has a flexible cancellation policy that credits a portion of cancellation fees towards future bookings at any Drury Hotel.

Additional amenities to be provided at the property include complimentary breakfast, the Kitchen + Bar, 24-hour business and fitness centres, and an outdoor pool and spa.

Upon its opening, the hotel is expected to provide jobs for around 70 individuals, both full-time and part-time.

Drury Hotels President and CEO Chuck Drury said: “Charleston is a thriving city, rich with history, culture, and southern hospitality.

“South Carolina leisure and business travellers will experience warm welcomes, friendly service and amenities within minutes of all the incredible food, museums, entertainment, and historic attractions Charleston offers.” 

In 2020, the company partnered with Ecolab to enhance its hygiene and safety measures. 

Drury Hotels has been a family-run business since 1973 and currently operates more than 150 hotels across 26 states.
