"If you want to be right in the historic district, this hotel in an old shipping warehouse is steps from the harbor, Old City Market, and Lower King Street's antique row."

Request one that overlooks the Waterfront Park along the Cooper River.

"Calming earth tones and rattan furniture soothe; four-poster beds and sea-grass rugs complete the Lowcountry look." Full review

If you ask for a room facing the harbor, you can gaze out onto the kid-friendly fountain and 8 acres of Waterfront Park.

"Simple can either be stark or strikingly elegant---in the case of this hotel, it’s the latter. This stately brick building is well-located overlooking a pretty fountain plaza."

If you're looking for a little more luxury, then request the historic part of the hotel (the staff calls that location 1A).

"What was once a vacant Federal office building is now The Dewberry: one of Charleston’s chicest hotels." Full review

If the weather’s nice, request a seat in the Tree House: a tucked-away portion of Henrietta’s outdoor seating space that features a bar table salvaged from a decaying oak tree that once stood on the property.

"The Dewberry is a sophisticated pastiche of time-honored Southern style and streamlined mid-century modern design inspired by the hotel’s original building." Full review

"The Dewberry, which describes itself as "offering old-world charm with a distinctive modern edge," is downtown, just a block from King Street"
Frommer's Frommer's
"Though you won't see it on any of Charleston's carriage tours, The Dewberry could very well serve as a model of the city's tradition for architectural preservation" Full review
