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"
