We have stayed here for many years and it continues to be the best hotel in Charleston. The accommodations are five star, old world elegant, comfortable, and beautiful decor. The staff, every single one that we have ever encountered, are professional, courteous, and helpful. The last two years, because Covid did not allow us to travel (fly) and spend the holidays with our family, we chose to spend this time at the The Wentworth. What a wonderful time we had. Decorations (done by Brian) were so lovely. Everyone was kind and made us feel so welcome! We will be here again this year for Thanksgiving. The food at Circa 1886 is quite good also!

This is a most lovely place. Not only beautiful for its architecture and sumptuous décor, but, and above all by its terrific staff. We spent a most wonderful two days here in a magnificent suite, with a private patio. The attention and service of the staff were outstanding -- every wish catered for immediately. They organised a fabulous two hour private tour with a vastly knowledgeable resident. The restaurant was also simply terrific: not only the daily breakfast (with highly personable and attentive waitresses) but also, as a big treat, an evening dinner there with some old friends. I simply cannot imagine how this place could be better than it is!

Our time at the Wentworth Mansion was absolutely magical. If you are in search of a truly unique experience that offers nothing but the best in hospitality, then this is the place for you. My husband and I travel often, we have a rather insatiable appetite for historical adventures! With Charleston being one of the most historically preserved cities in the world, it was an easy choice to make in deciding where to go for our honeymoon. Wentworth is nestled just a few blocks from the lively downtown area, surprisingly quiet given its proximity to everything. We felt entirely safe walking to and from the mansion whether going out for a day trip, or walking into town for an evening excursion. Staying at Wentworth felt much like visiting a good friend, with the additional luxury

We're locals to Charleston for 10+ years including college at CofC. This was our first visit to Wentworth Mansion and Circa 1886 -we were blown away. First class everything and you feel like you're living in history. Byran, the concierge, was extremely helpful with all of our needs. But even more, he doubles as a historian of the hotel and his passion and love for the rich history of the building and family that built it shines through his stories. Highly recommend!!

I discovered Wentworth Mansion on my Hyatt app! So glad I did! What a special place! We were greeted by Bryan who upgraded our room to a Mansion room on the top floor! We headed straight to dinner at the hotel’s Circa 1886 where we had an exquisite meal! As hotel guests we were entitled to a three course meal for $60 each. We ordered six different items and could not pick a favorite. Breakfast at Circa 1886 was terrific and included in the stay. We tend to stay in larger and more modern hotels but Wentworth Mansion with its 21 rooms is a place that should not be missed. A true gem!

This place is amazing! The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful- shoutout to Will who made our trip extra special. The complementary breakfast and evening wine and appetizers are wonderful and not your standard hotel fare. It’s a splurge but most definitely worth it!

We were welcomed like family into this extremely beautiful mansion built in 1886. Staying here was like being in a living museum. Original Tiffany windows, English oak carved intricately, crystal chandeliers, 16-foot ceilings, a wonderful cupola where you could view the whole city 8 stories up, coffee and croissants before a delightful breakfast at Circa 1886 in the carriage house, afternoon cocktails and delicate pastries, the most comfortable bed, and a staff that takes excellent care of you. This was our best experience ever, and we’ve traveled extensively over the years. Many of the guests are old-timers, having visited the Mansion many times. Count us in that number!

Our stay exceeded our expectations. The surrounding streets are a delight to walk around and downtown is within walking distance. The hotels staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Bryan, one of the front desk staff, was beyond kind and knowledgeable of the history of the mansion when asked. We truly love old homes and their history and asked him if he happened to know information about the home. We were very happy with his knowledge and love for the home. He is a true gem, and does so much justice for the home. Wentworth is lucky to have him. His interaction with guests is what most hotel managers dream of having as apart of their business. Apart from the incredible staff, the breakfasts at Circa were delightful and creative. The room was spacious, very clean and beautiful for

Cannot say enough about the experience my wife and I had here. When you splurge for a little extra for that special treat, this being my wife's birthday, you hope the return is worth it. Our experience at the Wenworth Mansion and dinner at Circa 1886 was a memory we will treasure. I dealt mainly with Kris for set up of our visit. He was amazing. I appreciated his professionalism, going above and beyond for questions or requests, and timely response. Exceeded all expectations. Bryan was also great. Every time we spoke to him, we felt like we were the only guests there and spent quality time ensuring we had every need fulfilled. Thanks to all staff for making my surprise for my wife's birthday so special. We will be back!

We spent four lovely, relaxing days at the Wentworth Mansion. The old-world craftsmanship has been beautifully maintained in this 1886 Gilded Age mansion. I especially loved the stained glass windows! The room furnishings of our third floor room reflected the era of the house and were delightfully comfortable. The house is located in a more residential area of the city, but reasonably close to the commercial section. The staff could not have been more attentive or helpful. They really made the visit.
