Anchorage 1770 - A boutique waterfront inn with historic charm and fine dining in Beaufort

Anchorage 1770 is a 5-star boutique waterfront inn housed in a restored historic mansion overlooking the Beaufort River, featuring four waterfront rooms with bay windows spanning 4.6 m for unobstructed river views. The two 4th-floor rooms provide what many consider the best view in Beaufort, while ground-floor accommodations showcase exposed 1700s timbers and modern rain showers. Guests at the inn enjoy complimentary full Lowcountry breakfasts and evening hors d'oeuvres during Top Deck Happy Hour on the open-air deck. The property houses the Ribaut Social Club, serving seasonal Lowcountry cuisine by Chef Daniel Salazar, including dishes like Pan Seared U-10 Diver Sea Scallops and Colorado Rack of Lamb. Corporate groups can utilize meeting spaces accommodating up to 20 people in the Federalist-style mansion. Nearby landmarks include Henry C Chambers Waterfront Park (0.5 km) and the Pat Conroy Literary Center (0.5 km). The inn participates in the Sea Dogs program, offering two designated pet-friendly rooms for travelers with dogs.
