The 18 Best Hotels in Charleston, South Carolina - AFAR

"A recently opened 45-room boutique that highlights Charleston character through design accents like palmetto-print wallpaper, sweetgrass baskets, and early-1900s local artwork, anchored by a dramatic gilded cut-crystal chandelier shaped like a palmetto tree. Guest rooms offer floor-to-ceiling windows, comfortable king beds, Bamford bath products, and monogrammed robes and slippers; the Penthouse Suite features a full wet bar, large living room, and a 500-square-foot rooftop terrace with panoramic views. A Lobby Bar presents Charleston-inspired classic cocktails and curated bites such as charcuterie and caviar." - Devorah Lev-Tov
