We study the discovery prospects of the charged Higgs boson in the context of multi-Higgs models in certain beyond the Standard Model scenarios. We classify models into three categories based on the charged Higgs coupling properties: gaugophobic, fermiophobic, and chromophobic. In each case, we identify viable modes of discovery and present LHC analysis for discovery. We find that extensions of the Standard Model in which the charged Higgs boson does not couple to colored particles offer the best possible avenues for discovery.
