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."

"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

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).
