The Bleckley Inn is a boutique hotel and event venue in downtown Anderson, South Carolina, occupying one of the city's most historic sites. Heart pine wood flooring and exposed brick more than 100 years old sit alongside modern conveniences throughout the 22-room inn, which opened in March 2011.
For weddings and private events, the Carriage House — once a historic livery stable — serves as the venue's largest and most popular space, with a covered courtyard featuring a center fountain and Pracht Alley, a lit alleyway connecting to Benson Street that's often used for photos and smaller gatherings. The Bleckley Station, which opened in January 2017 at a separate downtown address, adds roughly 10,000 square feet of event space beneath a skylight and soaring exposed trusses, with theatre curtains that can subdivide the room for more intimate settings. The Bleckley Inn Plaza, added in 2013 above J Peters Restaurant on Main Street, includes a rooftop event venue overlooking Main Street Square.
The inn also offers the Benson Room and a conference room for meetings and retreats, along with a Dining Room that can be booked for private events such as baby showers, graduations, and rehearsal dinners. Guests can explore downtown Anderson on foot, with the Farmer's Market, Anderson Arts Center, Anderson County Museum, and Hartwell Lake all nearby.
