"Opened in 2021, this 50-room boutique hotel marries modern comforts with immediate access to 18th-century Charleston: a short stroll puts you on the uneven brick of historic Philadelphia Alley lined with camellias, while the hotel itself offers crisp, minimal, and spacious rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, double-paneled privacy sheers, and state-of-the-art soundproofing. Its standout feature is the rooftop terrace cresting the mature treeline of the French Quarter, where guests take morning coffee at sunrise, lounge on cushioned wicker with a book from the Clubroom library, sip sunset cocktails, or stargaze late at night." - CNT Editors
"A luxury boutique hotel that programs seasonal offerings like Christmas-themed afternoon teas and an annual tree-lighting; one holiday package for couples includes a botanical-inspired holiday cocktail class, a special Christmas movie turndown service, and a private carriage tour of the city with a local carriage company." - Trudy Haywood Saunders Trudy Haywood Saunders Trudy Haywood Saunders is a writer and editor based in North Carolina.

"The Zilker hotel is running a cafe pop-up/guest residency with Charleston bakery Annie Mae's that began at the start of the month and will run through the end of November, featuring on-deck baked goods such as banana caramel sticky buns, Earl Grey biscotti, and jasmine tea shortbread cookies, along with teas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A 50-room property inspired by public and private gardens that offers modern, elegant rooms with high-end touches—Matouk bedding, Deep Steep bath products, Dyson hairdryers, and complimentary minibars stocked with local snacks. Public spaces evoke a Southern porch with a swing and abundant greenery alongside regional artwork, while the Veranda Lounge is a large, wood-and-bronze-accented bar. Guests can enjoy a rooftop terrace with sweeping views and an exclusive Clubroom stocked with curated books, games, and locally sourced drinks and bites." - Devorah Lev-Tov
