Aiken hotel ranked in National Geographic list!

National Geographic Traveler has named the Carriage House Inn of Aiken as one of its 129 Hotels We Love.

The Carriage House Inn puts Aiken on the map, as it is one of only two in the state and among a handful in the Southeast on the list, bringing national attention to the area.

“The hotels on our Stay List 2009 don’t just reflect their surroundings; they help define them. What they all have in common is a transcendent vision that goes beyond traditional hotelkeeping. This mindset is what gives these hotels their special sense of place. … After your stay, you’ll leave with the kind of insight only soulful places can provide,” states the article.

“This is a huge honor for us,” said Elizabeth Smith. Smith’s mother and father, Anne and Bill Thomasson, established the hotel located on the main street in historic downtown Aiken 10 years ago. The Carriage House Inn is a family-owned and operated establishment whose primary focus is on the city of Aiken.Full Details.
