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."
Zagat4.0
"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

Gayot "The Restoration on King is a luxurious boutique hotel located in the heart of Charleston's lovely historic district. Rich with heritage details, this hotel feature balconies overlooking downtown."
Zagat "Exposed brick and original wood frame the otherwise contemporary decor throughout this boutique hotel featuring posh, fully furnished apartment-style suites replete with a full kitchen."

"While rates are high, they aren’t outrageous for a small, luxury venue with only a handful of spacious rooms. Lots of little perks abound." Full review
Afar Magazine "In 2010, the Restoration on King opened with a new concept for Charleston: a small-scale luxury hotel that was contemporary boutique, not traditional B&B." Full review
Jetsetter "Hip home away from home with Southern charm and a rooftop lounge in downtown Charleston." Full review
Star Service "It is better equipped and better looking than even the top time-share properties in town (Lodge Alley and Church Street Inn)." Full review
Forbes Travel Guide Recommended
"The Restoration is discreetly tucked away off of King Street, Charleston’s most popular shopping strip." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"A seamless, imaginative weaving together of new and existing buildings, The Restoration offers 54 suites, plus a rooftop restaurant and bar." Full review
goop "Staying in one of The Restoration’s smartly decorated suites—which combine classic Southern design with clean, modern touches—is almost akin to staying at a really fabulous Airbnb." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Reclaimed wood-bound hallways lead to 54 rooms over a few buildings, which grow from 500-sq-feet and are awash in modern indigo, some with kitchenettes and washers and dryers." Full review
