Really enjoyed our 3 night stay here. The property was beautiful and in a historic area of town. We had breakfast served in our room every morning which was a treat! They offer delicious treats for afternoon tea. The concierges are so helpful - from fixing the tv sound, to getting more pillows and advising how to get to dinner. We stayed in the carriage house which worked well for us. Minimal stairs!

Beautiful historic mansion that was 5 stars in every way! The suite, the service, food and staff were completely on point in every way! Our concierges , Jim and Josh were super helpful. Suite 7 was John Rutledge’s original bedroom and study where he worked on the US Constitution.

We have stayed here multiple times in multiple rooms. The staff is always attentive and friendly. Staying in this restored home is always a treat. The included hot breakfast is always filling and a nice way to start the day. Also they have tea and desserts at 4, treats were delicious. And the evenings they have port, sherry and other cordials placed out.

This was the most we ever paid for a hotel anywhere and I have to say it was worth it. Checked nearly all the boxes: Well located, neat authentic historical building with little artifacts, free coffee, onsite parking, super nice staff, great breakfast included (served in the room, courtyard are ballroom), afternoon (iced) tea with appetizers and desserts, evening sherry and brandy, large well appointed room. The only things lacking were a fitness center - they have an arrangement with a place, but it's not nearby and no onsite restaurant, though they offer a discount to a place about 1/2 mile away ($85/person).

Beautiful mansion in the heart of Charleston, walking distance to nearly everything but on-site parking helpful if car is needed. Attentive, helpful and well informed staff. Included breakfast is very convenient. We had a beautiful room with comfortable bed and working fireplace. Room might need more dresser space if staying more than 2-3 days.

We thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay. This historic property is wonderfully maintained. Our room was very comfortable. The reception staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and genuinely an asset to the property. Breakfast staff is equally attentive and friendly. While all the staff is wonderful, the all star is the gentleman who handles luggage, does light maintenance and other tasks. Property is within walking distance to restaurants and most of the historic district. We did not need a vehicle when we were staying here, but they do have a parking area (added fee) for those that do. If we visit Charleston again, we will certainly stay here.

The service is unparalleled. We brought our two papillons and they were welcomed and there were even bowls and treats in the room. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic. I can’t say enough about how wonderful our stay was. We will definitely be back!

This place is amazing. I’m a local who can honestly say that staying here will spoil you with location, service, cleanliness, history, breakfast, staff, everything! Everyone is very professional. The parking is easy and convenient. There is a lovely afternoon tea, nightcaps in the lobby, and turndown service. They offer breakfast in the room or the lovely courtyard or ballroom. You will love staying here.
