A former chain hotel in the heart of downtown Charleston’s tourism district is almost ready to open after a complete overhaul of the property was launched last year.

Emeline, a new lodging concept opening in what used to operate under the DoubleTree flag, is slated to open in May 2020.

The Church Street property will have 212 guests rooms — the same as the DoubleTree — and about 13,000 square feet of event space divided between 10 meeting venues.

Rooms will feature custom-made record players, ceramic vanity accessories made by Charleston artist Susan Gregory and bath products with an Emeline-branded signature scent.
