Catch Some Rays Poolside.

Did you know The Ryder is one of the few hotels in Charleston with a pool? Our sunny deck is all about easygoing, good-vibes energy—loungers, sips from Little Palm, and that downtown buzz you can only get near King Street.

Pool Hours: Open 8 am daily for Vitamin D therapy

The Ryder Pool

The Ryder Pool is the hottest place in Charleston to cool down. Stretch out on comfy sun loungers, dip in and out as you please, and let our poolside team keep the refreshments coming from Little Palm.

Hotel guests: Complimentary access; seating is first-come, first-served.

Atmosphere: Laid-back and social—perfect for slow mornings, golden hour hangs, and post-exploration chills.

Towels provided: We’ve got you covered, literally.
