Concierge "This elegant inn, a stunning example of Gilded Age architecture, is largely unchanged since the days when it belonged to Francis Silas Rodgers."
Fodor's "Guests at the most grand inn in town admire the Second Empire antiques and reproductions, the rich fabrics, inset wood paneling, and original stained-glass windows." Full review
Star Service "Five blocks west of King Street, this is Charleston's best option for those seeking a small, select, full-service hotel with authentic patina in the historic center." Full review
Gayot "This Second Empire-style home was built between 1885 and 1887... Accommodations range from Mansion Rooms to the Grand Mansion Suite. The latter looks as if it belongs in a European villa."
Zagat4.0
"Housed in a circa-1886 mansion, this “breathtakingly beautiful” “gem of a hotel” tucked away on residential Wentworth Street features “luxurious” rooms furnished with antiques."
Afar Magazine "This Gilded Age residence, built for a cotton merchant and his bride in the 1880s, was renovated and opened as a hotel in 1998 after stints as a masonic meeting place and an insurance office." Full review
Jetsetter "Circa 1886 boutique sleep with a spa and ideal location a short walk to downtown Charleston." Full review

Fodor's "At this boutique hotel boasting a number of large, comfortable suites, you can indulge in evening wine and cheese on the rooftop terrace while enjoying views of the city and Cooper River." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"A central atrium done up with burnished pine, exposed beams and nautical-themed oil paintings makes this intimate Historic District hotel feel like being inside an antique sailing ship." Full review
Star Service "On a charming street of residential town houses, this is a tightly run, midrange ship, loft-inspired, with a bayside location just two blocks from the market area." Full review

Frommer's "The Ansonborough retains its enormous exposed pinewood beams and cavernous three-story lobby. The extra spacious rooms are comfy, with 25-foot ceilings, attractive furniture, modern granite bathrooms" Full review
