More than lodging — a living piece of Beaufort's fraternal heritage. Step into a home where Southern hospitality meets over 90 years of Elks tradition in the heart of the historic district.
Since 1929, the S. J. Bampfield Lodge has stood as a beacon of the Benevolent and Orderly Elks in Beaufort. What began as a gathering place for community-minded individuals has grown into an institution woven into the fabric of this historic Lowcountry city.
Our lodge has weathered decades of change — wars, economic shifts, and the evolving American landscape — while holding fast to the principles of charity, patriotism, and brotherhood that guided our founders.
Today, we continue that legacy. Whether you're a traveling Elk seeking a place among friends, a local resident attending one of our community events, or a guest drawn to our storied halls, you're part of our story.
Our guest rooms offer comfortable, affordable lodging in the heart of downtown Beaufort — steps from waterfront parks, historic homes, and the finest Lowcountry dining.
Clean, comfortable rooms with all the essentials — perfect for Elks traveling to convention, families visiting Beaufort, or anyone seeking a quiet night in a historic setting.
Located on Church Street in downtown Beaufort, you're walking distance to the waterfront, River Street, historic tours, and some of the best seafood in the Lowcountry.
Members of the Elks receive priority booking and special rates. Traveling Elk? Your lodge card gets you home away from home — with the warmth of brotherhood waiting at check-in.
The S. J. Bampfield Lodge is a cornerstone of Beaufort's community life. We host regular social gatherings, charity fundraisers, and fraternal meetings that bring people together across generations.
Our event spaces — from the grand hall to intimate meeting rooms — are available for weddings, reunions, corporate events, and private functions. Let us help you create something memorable in a setting rich with character.
We're also proud supporters of youth programs, scholarships, and community outreach initiatives that make Beaufort stronger.
Find us on Church Street, one of Beaufort's most distinguished addresses — surrounded by antebellum architecture, live oak canopies, and the friendly pace of the Lowcountry.
Whether you're an Elk traveling through, a Beaufort local, or someone looking for a unique event space — we'd love to welcome you.
