What a weekend. How you feeling?

STAY COOL. See those little hand painted stars on the glass? They’re original from the 60’s and let everyone know that our rooms were “air-chilled.” A big selling point for visitors to SC! Sixty years later, we’re still pretty chill. And with a private swimming pool, cocktail lounge, and a host of "De-Luxe" amenities, the Starlight is still the perfect oasis for restful days and playful nights. . . 📸 @lalp99 @lillap @loladstylist @therosamartinez

EVERYBODY IS A STAR. ✨ We were thrilled to host our friends and fellow midcentury lovers @1957housedownsouth and couldn’t resist passing along their kind words. Pop over to @1957housedownsouth to follow along with their amazing restoration projects! ・・・ The Starlight. 🔸️ The restoration of the Starlight Motor Inn is so impressive that I decided it needed a permanent place on the grid. Located in North Charleston and built in 1961, it was the first modular construction motel in the South. The modular units were shipped in by train and then assembled. The newspaper reported on the construction, calling it an "instant motel." 🔸️ While once abandoned, it was placed on the National Register in 2020 and restored in 2022. If you're planning a trip to Charleston, this is a must see. We thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality we received during our visit. And we'll definitely be back! #northcharleston #northcharlestonsc #charleston #charlestonsc #preservation #historicpreservation #architecture #historicarchitecture #architecturenerd #historynerd #motels #hotels #oldmotels #oldhotels #historicmotels #historichotels #atomicmotel #1960s #timecapsule #restorationgem #restored #mcmmotel #mcmhotel #midcenturymotel #midcenturyhotel

GOT A LIGHT? 🔥 If you’re of a particular vintage, you probably grew up with all sorts of matchbooks from the bars, pubs, motels, and restaurants that served as mementos of a well-travelled life. And while there are decidedly fewer things to burn these days (🚬) we couldn’t resist making a batch of our own souvenir matchbooks. Take ‘em home by the handful. Thanks to @stitchdesignco and @thematchgroup for these beauties. (Pic 2 is a relic from the original Host of America!) . . #GetTight #alrightstarlight

ON THE LEVEL. ✨ These original midcentury railings are one of our favorite architectural features at the @starlightchs and we went the extra mile to save them. The floor to ceiling windows are pretty great too! 📸 @lizzyrollins #alrightstarlight #midcenturydesign

THE HOST OF AMERICA. ✨ The Starlight was conceived as an affordable and accessible destination for everyday folks, and for decades has lived up to its original name, "The Host of America." As stewards of this historic property and neighborhood landmark, we are dedicated to honoring that mission. And with guests from all walks of life, we can’t wait to see who walks in our door! #alrightstarlight . . . #charlestonhotel #charlestonhotels #charlestonsc #northcharleston #riversavenue #charlestonairbnb #travelcharleston #chstoday #midcenturydesign #midcenturymotel #midcenturymodernmotel #hospitality #hospitalityindustry #historicpreservation

KEEP IT BREEZY! ✨ Our beloved breezeblocks are one of the most distinctive architectural elements at the motel. They filter the light, offer shade and privacy, and keep the cool breeze flowing.

TONIGHT 7PM! 🎸🎶 Jeff Caldwell LIVE at The Burgundy Lounge, located upstairs at the @starlightchs. #JustOneMore #AllNiteLong

JUST ONE MORE. 🍸Located upstairs at the @starlightchs the Burgundy Lounge has been a favorite watering hole for sailors, swingers, and storytellers since the sixties. We’re so grateful to @stitchdesignco for helping us honor that past and toast our future! ・・・ Repost from @stitchdesignco :: Named for the original Burgundy Lounge that occupied the same space, the copy weaves together vintage and modern references with evocative details, calling forth the magical electricity of lively conversation, solid cocktails, and great music that make it a one-of-kind destination. Illustrations reflect the original Burgundy Lounge’s reputation as a Navy bar. The swallow illustration nods to the bird’s burgundy throat and a tattoo tradition among sailors in which every swallow represents 5,000 miles. The swallow’s “eye” doubles as a cocktail garnish, adding a playful sensibility to this landmark lounge. The script logotype is inspired by 1960s-era signage and typography and reflects the brand’s eclectic, soulful personality. #copywriting #messaging #sdcopartners #burgundylounge #starlightmotel #northcharleston

WE’RE TURNING HEADS. Just like our dream girl Raquel Welch. Farewell to one of our Starlight icons. ✨✨✨ . . . #raquelwelch #alrightstarlight #travelcharleston #sixties #midcenturystyle #charlestonsc

WE ARE FAMILY. Family-run since 1961, The Starlight was conceived as an affordable and accessible destination for everyday folks. And we aim to keep it that way. #starlighticons #slystone . . #travelcharleston #travelcharlestonsc #northcharleston #charlestonhotel #charlestonsc #chstoday #alrightstarlight #slystone

NOW OPEN. ✨ Located upstairs at the Starlight Motor Inn, The Burgundy Lounge serves local spirits, old school classics, and plenty of soul. Open nightly. ✨ 3245 Rivers Ave. N. Chas. SC

Something old, something new… ✨✨ At the @starlightchs we like to pair all the conveniences of modern hospitality with touches of our property’s past. Which is why “keyless entry” doesn’t mean you can’t leave with a souvenir keychain! 📸 @kimgrahamphoto . . #alrightstarlight #travelcharleston #northcharleston #midcenturymodern #vintagemotel #charlestonhotel #charlestonsc #charlestonairbnb #charlestonlove #charlestonstrong #chstoday #midcenturymotel #vintagekeychain #vintagetypography #vintagegraphicdesign
