Raines adds Cambria Charleston Riverview to portfolio

Raines has secured the management contract for the Cambria Charleston Riverview in Charleston, SC. This 126-room property, owned by RREAF Holdings, is the company’s seventh hotel in the Charleston market.

“For a variety of reasons, we’ve decided to partner with Raines on this property,” said Kip Sowden, chairman/CEO, RREAF Holdings. “The Raines team sets itself apart with its deep understanding of the Charleston market, the personalized approach of its leadership and strong ties to the local community. We’re looking forward to witnessing everything Raines brings to the table.”

The Cambria Charleston Riverview is located three miles from the city’s downtown and is close to the Ashley River. Nearby attractions include the History District City Market, Waterfront Park and Folly Beach.

With a design scheme that reflects the downtown Charleston aesthetic, the hotel offers amenities such as newly upgraded spaces, a restaurant, free WiFi, a fitness center, a sundry shop, an outdoor pool, and meeting and event spaces.

“Charleston has been named the South’s best city by Southern Living Magazine for eight years running, and we are thrilled to be further expanding our footprint in this in-demand market,” said Grey Raines, managing partner, Raines. “Our extensive experience and presence in Charleston and our experience with Cambria and other lifestyle-branded properties made us an ideal fit to manage this hotel. We look forward to supporting the property and working with the RREAF Holdings’ team to further elevate the guest experience.”

The Cambria Charleston Riverview marks the third portfolio addition in the past month, following management agreements for Springhill Suites Cheraw in Cheraw, SC, and Hilton Garden Inn University District Greenville in Greenville, NC, in March.
