Wentworth Mansion

After midnight on the day we were checking out, I went to the bathroom and saw something crawling on the floor in the dark. I lit it up. According to Google Lens it was an American Cockroach, also called a Palmetto Bug. I don’t claim to be an expert. So there is no debate, I took pictures that show the bug, show it’s on the floor of that bathroom, and even show the hotel logo on the whirlpool tub. Needless to say, it was shocking and sleep was difficult. The next day, I wanted to leave and asked management for nothing. I travel often to top hotels, and don’t remember this happening before.

The Wentworth Mansion is a spectacular, indulgent and thoroughly enjoyable place to stay in Charleston. The entire staff were welcoming and helpful. Whether you want to be transported to the late 1800's or simply want a convenient location in the historic area of Charleston, the Wentworth Mansion will not disappoint you. Complementary wine and hors d'oeuvres in the afternoon, a fabulous breakfast and sherry or port in the evening. The meal we had at Circa 1886 (on site) was one of the most memorable meals we have ever had - truly memorable.

We visited the Wentworth Mansion for the first time in December 2024. We have been visiting Charleston for over 20yrs, and will say, the stay was absolutely AMAZING and the best location we have stayed at yet on our trips!!! The service from Bryan, one of the Concierges, was 1st Class our entire trip! I cant say enough about Kyle, as he assisted us throughout our stay!! The property, our room, the restaurant, the views from the top of the hotel, all were AMAZING and we will definitely be booking a stay there again in the near future!! The property was only a short 15min walk from all of the action in Historic Charleston!! Well worth every penny spent!!!! Thank You Bryan and Kyle!!!

We had an incredible stay at the mansion. It was our first time, just a short 3 night, babymoon. Bryan, the concierge, was one of the shining lights of the trip. His knowledge, decorum, kindness, and genuine passion for history and this city was obvious and so enjoyable to chat with. My wife and I don’t typically go to the same place twice but would absolutely come back here. It was peaceful, clean, the food and amenities were excellent, luxurious, and if there’s anything you need, they’re ready to help at a moment’s notice.

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.
