"Set in the bucolic Harleston neighborhood on the west side of the historic peninsula, this 1886 mansion—originally owned by Francis Silas Rodgers—preserves a no-expense-spared aesthetic: 14-foot ceilings, Tiffany windows, hand-carved moulding, massive marble fireplaces, enormous pocket doors, crystal chandeliers, and a rooftop cupola with sweeping city views. In daylight guests stroll through gardens to the carriage house restaurant for an ample, complimentary cooked-to-order full-service breakfast, and by night the same space transforms into a destination-worthy upscale restaurant where Executive Chef Marc Collins has long served refined Southern cuisine." - CNT Editors

"A Charleston-based hotel that is now part of the Hilton and Small Luxury Hotels portfolio."
"A Gilded Age grande dame meticulously preserved and updated, featuring intricate wood paneling, Tiffany-style stained glass, period furniture, and gas fireplaces alongside modern comforts like whirlpool tubs and complimentary valet parking. The on-site restaurant spotlights South Carolina ingredients—with examples such as Broken Arrow antelope with Anson Mills grits—and the spa occupies the mansion’s old stables. Guests can participate in cocktail-making classes, wine-tasting workshops, and exclusive experiences including rides in a restored 1928 Ford Model A." - Devorah Lev-Tov
"A restored, centuries-old mansion open for tours; part of a cluster of historic homes where visitors typically spend about an hour exploring each house's preserved interiors and period architecture." - Travel + Leisure Editors
