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."
