Fodor's "Wrought-iron railings, crown moldings, and decorative plasterwork speak of the elegance of 1924, when the Francis Marion was the largest hotel in the Carolinas." Full review

For the best view and quiet factor, go for the rooms that face King Street and are as close to the top floor as you can get.

Jetsetter "Charming, mid-century modern stay in downtown Charleston with up-to-the-minute amenities and a swanky dining scene." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Don Draper would approve of The Dewberry hotel in Charleston, where the mid-century decor is straight out of Mad Men." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Set in a repurposed midcentury modern office building, the Dewberry embraces a vintage, Mad Men-esque aesthetic." Full review
Fodor's "What was once a vacant Federal office building is now The Dewberry: one of Charleston’s chicest hotels." Full review

If the weather’s nice, request a seat in the Tree House: a tucked-away portion of Henrietta’s outdoor seating space that features a bar table salvaged from a decaying oak tree that once stood on the property.
Lonely Planet "Once an abandoned federal office building, this former eyesore was tinkered with by architects for eight years before reopening as a glistening ode to mid-century, modern design." Full review
Afar Magazine "The Dewberry is a sophisticated pastiche of time-honored Southern style and streamlined mid-century modern design inspired by the hotel’s original building." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Dewberry, which describes itself as "offering old-world charm with a distinctive modern edge," is downtown, just a block from King Street"
