Hotels in Bluffton
From boutique riverside suites to the legendary Inn at Palmetto Bluff — Bluffton's hotel options match the town's range of character and style.
Bluffton's hotel scene is smaller and more intimate than nearby Hilton Head Island, which is part of its appeal. You won't find massive resort towers here — instead, you'll find boutique properties, charming inns, and the extraordinary Inn at Palmetto Bluff, one of the finest resort hotels in the Southeast.
Inn at Palmetto Bluff
An Auberge Resorts Collection property consistently ranked among the top resorts in the Southeast. Cottages and suites set among 20,000 acres of pristine Lowcountry landscape along the May River.
Boutique Properties
Bluffton's boutique hotels and inns offer a more personal experience than chain properties — local character, attentive service, and locations that put you close to Old Town and the waterfront.
Extended Stay Options
For longer visits, several Bluffton properties offer suite-style accommodations with kitchenettes and living areas — ideal for families or anyone planning a week or more in the Lowcountry.
Near Hilton Head Hotels
Many visitors stay on Hilton Head Island and day-trip to Bluffton. The island has dozens of hotel options at every price point, all within 20 minutes of Old Town Bluffton.
Booking Tips
Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) are peak seasons — book 2–3 months in advance. Summer rates are lower and availability is better, though the heat and humidity are significant.
Location Matters
Choose a hotel near Old Town for walkability and character; near Buckwalter for convenience and lower rates; at Palmetto Bluff for the ultimate resort experience. Each area has a distinct feel.
