we stayed at the Wentworth during the snow storm when the whole city shut down in the airport closed. Christian and Brian were so welcoming, and even upgraded our rooms unexpectedly. We were able to stay in rooms well past check out, the final day, to make sure our flight was a go before leaving in the snow. Kevin was instrumental making sure we were comfortable with exceptional great service. He checked which restaurants were open and showed us safe ways to navigate the property with all the snow. We sat near the fire talking with the other guests for happy hour with yummy food and wine. Morning at the carriage house for breakfast was so elegant. My room had a fireplace and the housekeeping was so good, even with short staff. When we left we felt we were leaving our Charleston family, and Kevin even checked the next day that we got home safely.

Excellent amenities in a curated space that is both functional and luxurious for even the most discriminating of travelers. I enjoyed the accommodations, but the complementary breakfast at 1886 was a great experience by itself. The staff is top tier in providing hospitality.

The staff were fantastic as was the mansion. The mansion is truly one-of-a-kind. Built over 100 years ago and still almost entirely original. The carved wooden detail throughout, carved marble fireplaces and stained glass were exquisite. The staff, especially Bryan, were engaging and knew the history of the mansion's details inside and out. They also provided wonderfully informed suggestions for activities and sights around the Charleston area (such as the best plantations to visit) as well as places to eat. We loved the early morning coffee/tea with croissants that were available before we headed over to the carriage house for an amazing breakfast. If available, try the raspberry/peanut butter croissants. Surprisingly delicious! Afternoon wine and appetizers were also delightful. And we often enjoyed a bit of complementary port after returning from dinner in town. We dined one evening at the onsite restaurant, Circa 1886, which was very good, not rushed, and the staff was excellent. Our room was the former mens billiard room at the top of the mansion. Lots of room, sumptuous bedding, and just down the hall from the cupola with inside and outside 360 views of Charlestown. Staying just a bit outside of the bustling downtown was a good decision. The walk into town was well lit, safe, and a nice distance for a walk post-dinner, away from the crowds and noise of a busier section of downtown. Overall, a wonderful stay and we'd definitely stay here again when we are in town.

We once again visited the Wentworth for Thanksgiving. As always, everything about our stay was excellent. The accommodations and staff make this hotel feel like a (very, very nice) home away from home. The working fireplace and the jacuzzi tub make the rooms so special. We also enjoy the wine and appetizers every evening. We have met some very nice people who also enjoy the Wentworth. We were there earlier this year to celebrate Valentine’s Day, and later, a birthday. We look forward to our next stay.

“I want to tell you that my wife and I had a fantastic vacation at the Wentworth Mansion in Charleston, S.C. The mansion was an unbelievable pleasure. The room was exquisite, the view breathtaking. The service could not have been better. The dinner at Circa 1886 was all we could have asked for to celebrate our anniversary. The little extra touches made it an evening we will not forget.”
