"This elegant inn, a stunning example of Gilded Age architecture, is largely unchanged since the days when it belonged to Francis Silas Rodgers."

"Five blocks west of King Street, this is Charleston's best option for those seeking a small, select, full-service hotel with authentic patina in the historic center."

Gayot
"This Second Empire-style home was built between 1885 and 1887... Accommodations range from Mansion Rooms to the Grand Mansion Suite. The latter looks as if it belongs in a European villa."

"Housed in a circa-1886 mansion, this “breathtakingly beautiful” “gem of a hotel” tucked away on residential Wentworth Street features “luxurious” rooms furnished with antiques."

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.

"Still considered one of Charleston's grand dames, the historic Francis Marion Hotel has lost some of its luster."

"At Marion Square, the Francis Marion is diagonally across the park from Embassy Suites and close to restaurants and shopping but a long walk north of the historic and market districts."

"Location, location, location is the main draw of this historic hotel, set just across the street from Marion Square, home to the Charleston Farmers Market."
