"Opened in 2002 one block from Charleston Harbor, this four-story granite hotel has gas lanterns, mahogany foyers, and crown moldings that recall the late-nineteenth-century South. Well decorated rooms have oil paintings and dark mahogany furniture, and intricate patterns cover the comforters, upholstery, and curtains. The 225 serves an excellent steak. Drinks at the Pavilion Bar come with beautiful views of the historic district and the harbor. The pool is on the rooftop."
