"Wrought-iron railings, crown moldings, and decorative plasterwork speak of the elegance of 1924, when the Francis Marion was the largest hotel in the Carolinas." Full review

For the best view and quiet factor, go for the rooms that face King Street and are as close to the top floor as you can get.

"On Pitt Street in Mount Pleasant’s harbor-facing Old Village neighborhood, near a terrific bakery and a couple of boutiques, sits a cozy tavern bar with a great wine list." Full review

"This white wooden building anchoring Mount Pleasant's Historic District is three-in-one—an excellent restaurant, a neighborly tavern, and a cozy inn set at the top of a high staircase." Full review

Charleston’s harbor is only a block away, so be sure to explore side streets that dead-end at the marsh.

"Staying in one of its six lovingly restored rooms is a real treat, all tastefully decorated but maintaining worn pinewood floors for added atmosphere...a short drive from all the major attractions" Full review
