Concierge "This charming 1763 building is one of 15 surviving homes owned by one of the 55 framers of the U.S. Constitution—and the only one converted into a hotel."
Fodor's "The building has a New Orleans–esque exterior with wrought-iron architectural details, and inside, parquet floors sit beneath 14-foot ceilings adorned with plaster moldings." Full review
Star Service "Don't let the amenities rating fool you—this is among the best small traditional inns in Charleston." Full review

Guests can indulge in spa services or enjoy fine dining at the sister property Wentworth Mansion, which unfortunately is farther than what most folks choose to stroll.
Michelin Guide "Inlaid parquet floors, canopied rice beds and carved plaster moldings mark the National Historic Landmark's restoration to its mid-18C appearance."
Zagat "Set in a 1763 home that's been designated a National Historic Landmark (George Washington once ate breakfast here), this B&B offers rooms and suites furnished with period antiques."
Afar Magazine "Rooms evoke the property's Colonial Era origins, with canopy beds, tilt-top tables, and brass fireplace screens." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The towering mansion and two carriage houses now offer 19 rooms, including palatial suites with canopy beds, 12-foot ceilings, original wood flooring, and Italian fireplaces." Full review

Request one that overlooks the Waterfront Park along the Cooper River.
Fodor's "Calming earth tones and rattan furniture soothe; four-poster beds and sea-grass rugs complete the Lowcountry look." Full review

If you ask for a room facing the harbor, you can gaze out onto the kid-friendly fountain and 8 acres of Waterfront Park.

"Harbour View Inn is a historic landmark, and the only waterfront hotel downtown." Full review
Star Service "Across the street from Waterfront Park, next to the more florid Vendue Inn, this purpose-built, full-service hotel frequently pops up on popular lists of Charleston's Top 10 lodgings." Full review

Best choose a unit on the third floor to guarantee a water vista.
Michelin Guide "This historic district property overlooks Charleston Harbor. Low country-style guest rooms feature four-poster beds, wicker chests and seagrass rugs."
Gayot "Simple can either be stark or strikingly elegant---in the case of this hotel, its the latter. This stately brick building is well-located overlooking a pretty fountain plaza."
Jetsetter "Boutique inn with classic Charleston style just steps from the harbor and the city’s best sights." Full review

If you're looking for a little more luxury, then request the historic part of the hotel (the staff calls that location 1A).
