"Charleston is worth visiting year-round, but the historic city really comes to life during the holiday season, with palmetto trees wrapped in lights and perfectly decorated hotels. The French Quarter Inn pulls out all the stops for Christmas, with sparkling decor in the lobby and elaborate gingerbread houses. The specially themed Sleigh Bell Suite features festive decorations, including an in-room tree and eggnog bar, and guests can grab complimentary cider, hot cocoa, or bourbon-spiked eggnog in the lobby after a day of exploring." - Travel + Leisure Editors
