this place is thoughtful, elegant, tasteful, and very comfortable. We stayed in the main building (there are 3 rooms in the "east wing"). Our room had tall ceilings and very comfortable furniture. I will say if you want to delegate things like dinner reservations etc. than the concierge is the way to go. They did a great job for us.... More

Absolutely gorgeous historic inn/ small hotel. Beautifully restored and decorated. The room was just beautiful. The breakfast each day was delicious and delightful. We also had dinner at the inn's restaurant which was equally great. Terrific staff who were always available and very helpful. Overall just a charming delightful experience.

This is clearly not a hotel for everyone. But, if you think you would enjoy an experience in a historical hotel this would be an excellent choice. The staff could not possibly be warmer as they all exuded "southern hospitality". Our room was comfortable, clean and well decorated. It was a beautiful ten minute stroll to our dinner in the...

We chose the Wentworth because we wanted to stay in a historical hotel and were not disappointed! A little off the beaten path, but we like to walk, so it worked out fine. Just loved the private parking lot, too. The staff could not have been friendlier, making dinner reservations and even remembering our names during our stay. One of... More

What a beautiful place and experience. The mansion is like going back in time....so amazing. The staff could not be nicer or more professional. The restaurant food is top quality and just plain delicious. Anyone who wants to feel more like a Charleston resident versus a tourist should stay here. We just simply loved the entire stay.....it was truly sad... More

My husband and I have stayed at the Mansion twice in the last two years. Both stays have been relaxing weekends of dining and shopping. The Mansion is off the beaten path in a residential area, making it a quiet oasis not to be found in noisy downtown. But Queen Street is an easy walk away, and pedi-cabs are perfect... More
