Wentworth Mansion

The Wentworth was an excellent choice for our stay in Charleston. It is a beautifully restored mansion with many of the original furnishings, artwork and silver on display. Centrally located yet in a quiet neighborhood , where so many attractions, museums , shopping and dining are within walking distance. The service was impeccable, our room amazingly large with every amenity available. Breakfast is served in the lovely Circa 1886 restaurant which also serves dinner. There is lemonade served in the afternoon on the patio and appetizers in the evening. Lots of rooms to read or relax in. Yes we will be back!

Hands-down, the best place to stay in Charleston!

Outstanding experience in every way. Perfect ambiance, friendly staff, and tasty breakfast. Such a memorable, historic, stately mansion with kind staff, in a warm, hospitable town! We can’t wait to return!

We decided on a last-minute weekend getaway to Charleston, and I had been wanting to stay at the Wentworth Mansion for quite some time. When I saw they had one room left—a Mansion Room—we booked it right away. Leading up to our arrival, communication with the mansion staff was always prompt, friendly, and pleasant. Upon arrival, we were able to check in early since we had spa appointments scheduled (more on that later). To my surprise, our room was ready. We were offered a welcome glass of champagne and escorted to our room by a bellman who kindly grabbed everything from our car. The room itself was incredibly spacious, beautiful, and immaculately clean. Next stop was the spa. I had a massage and my husband had a facial, and afterward we both enjoyed the steam shower. The spa experience was wonderful and very relaxing—especially for a spa connected to a hotel. My only two small negatives were the road noise that could occasionally be heard in the massage room, and the steam shower advertised “aromatherapy,” though it mostly just smelled like a regular steamy shower. Dinner at Circa was fantastic. This was our second time dining there, and we appreciated that the menu had changed since our last visit. It made the experience feel completely new. Breakfast at Circa (for Mansion guests) was just as amazing—made to order with a basket of pastries and fruit brought out before the meal. Another lovely touch was the chocolates left during turndown service each night, and they were different each evening. Two staff members truly stood out during our stay. Fiona was the first face we saw when entering the Mansion and was incredibly personable. Tristan also deserves a special mention—after we had a particularly wild Uber ride back one afternoon, he immediately sensed it and poured us each a glass of sherry with a smile, saying, “Here’s some medicine.” Those two were absolute gems. Truly, everyone we encountered was wonderful, but they made a memorable impression. Unfortunately, the one major downside to our stay was the bed. It was shockingly uncomfortable. My husband and I are in our late 30s and woke up barely able to walk because our backs and hips hurt so badly. We regularly stay in luxury accommodations and have never experienced a bed this uncomfortable before. For a property at this level, the bed should be one of the highlights of the stay—not the worst part. Overall, the service, food, and atmosphere at Wentworth Mansion were exceptional. If the bed situation were addressed, this would easily be one of our favorite stays in Charleston.

I love staying at the Wentworth Mansion. It is such a beautiful home with all the original stunning architectural details, including tiffany windows. The bed, linens and pillows are so luxurious. The included breakfast is very generous and delicious. But most of all, the staff are so welcoming! They love what they do and they love their guests! See you next year!
