Just over the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge from Charleston, Hotel Indigo Mount Pleasant is a boutique property on the US 17 corridor (Johnnie Dodds Boulevard). The address works for groups that want to stay close to downtown access without committing to a peninsula hotel footprint, especially when arrivals are spread out across the day and you need a place that is straightforward to reach, park at, and regroup from.
Access is one of the main advantages here. US 17 runs as the primary commercial artery through Mount Pleasant, and it connects quickly to the bridge into Charleston and to the wider highway network via I 526. That setup helps when your group is splitting time between downtown meetings, waterfront venues, Patriots Point events, or beach days on Sullivan’s Island and Isle of Palms. For planners, the route clarity matters as much as proximity, because it reduces missed turns, late arrivals, and complicated pickup instructions.
Inside, the hotel leans into a modern, neighborhood-driven style rather than a traditional conference-box feel. You get a full-service restaurant and bar on property (Eliza’s Bar + Kitchen), an outdoor pool setup that reads more resort than roadside, and the kind of lobby and courtyard spaces that actually work for casual meetups. Room categories include standard rooms, premium rooms, and suites, including one-bedroom suites, which can help when you are balancing couples, roommates, and VIP staff within the same block.
Group coordination is where the property’s layout starts to pay off. Meeting and event inventory includes six flexible spaces, with 3,925 square feet indoors and 3,000 square feet outdoors, plus a Palmetto Ballroom sized for gatherings up to 200 guests. The Directors Boardroom is listed at 1,300 square feet, and the Magnolia Room offers 1,000 square feet with access to the outdoor courtyard. That mix supports everything from a plated reception to a training session to a morning huddle that needs real tables, reliable AV, and a clear start time.
Engine.com fits in as the admin layer when you are booking for a team, wedding party, or multi-department group. Room blocks, rooming lists, changes, and billing get handled in one place, so the point person is not stuck chasing confirmations and receipts while the trip is already underway.
