Wentworth Mansion

My husband and I did a staycation celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and his birthday. We had a wonderful time. Our room was luxurious and the staff attentive. Happy hour was a fun time to meet some fellow visitors. We would recommend it for a special occasion. Easy to explore Charleston by walking.

I will start off by saying that we had mixed feelings about our arrival at the mansion. The building and the grounds are absolutely lovely but the front desk clerk seemed to be examining us head to toe. We were guided through a quick tour of the hotel and shown to our room. The room was on the 4th floor and was spacious and lovely. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and complimentary. Free parking was also a major plus. The stay was looking to end a very positive note. The early morning before a VERY long drive home was startling interrupted by the front desk manager who inexplicably decided to come into our room at 6 AM. The door swung open and a figure appeared. As the dark figure was standing in the door way, I assume he saw people in room and shut the door. Not knowing what had just occurred, I ran downstairs to report the incident. I didn’t know if someone was trying to break in or something to that effect. When reaching the ground floor, I informed the manager that someone came into our room. The manager, half-heartedly tried to apologize and inform me that it was him who opened the door to our room at 6 AM. Still half a sleep, I asked why opened the door when we weren’t supposed to check out until noon and he told me that the computer had a “glitch” and showed the room as being vacant. After waiting a bit for a better explanation, I was met with this, go back upstairs, attitude. Now, I have travelled all over and stayed at many different hotels and this has never happened to me at this time in the morning. Sure you have cleaning personnel coming in around 8:30-9 but never a manager at 6 AM. This was a very odd and off-putting situation. It makes one reevaluate and re-examine any privacy concerns. The mansion was a delight and the food and amenities were great but the front desk staff ruined the trip. I would seriously reconsider booking here until there is a complete overhaul of the front desk staff.

What a beautiful hotel! It was like taking a luxury trip back in time with the antique furnishings, gas fireplaces and curving staircase. Our room was large and very comfortable - extra pillows and towels were provided quickly. And the copula is a great spot to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset (or sunrise!). Breakfast was a wonderful surprise! Fresh pastries, fruit and a variety of menu options. I highly recommend splurging on a stay at the Mansion!

Absolutely lovely hotel and a delightful, gracious staff. We felt transported to another time. The antiques and the common areas were stunning. The staff also worked tirelessly to make everything perfect - including the food. The view from the Cupola provided perspective on Charleston architecture in a way that would have been hard to see otherwise. We will be back and will likely try a different room. Ours was on the first floor and we think we might enjoy a higher floor even better. Thank you to Kevin, Will and Fiona and the chefs & wait staff behind the scenes for your hard work.

What a wonderful and beautiful place to stay. My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here and it couldn’t have been nicer. Not only was the staff amazing but every detail was taken care of. We were treated like royalty. Champagne in the room , fresh flowers, beautiful notes signed by the staff, candy and bed turned down at night…. all the extras that you receive staying here such as wine and hors d’oeuvres in the afternoon, Coffee and pastries in the morning, complimentary breakfast in the restaurant and the list goes on. This was our first stay at this location, but having visited Charleston on numerous occasions, it will certainly not be our last. The concierge Will and the Bellman Aiden were so nice as well as Jennifer in the restaurant.
