Wentworth Mansion
South Carolina
Built in 1886 as a Charleston private residence, Wentworth Mansion preserves the detail of a Gilded Age home. Pressed-tin ceilings, parquet floors and original Tiffany glass panels make the architecture a substantial part of the stay. The hotel has 21 individually designed rooms and suites. Its limited scale allows the building’s domestic origins to remain apparent, while the historic central Charleston address places city outings within easy reach. Circa 1886 provides dining on the property, including the breakfast served to guests. Wine and hors d’oeuvres are offered in the late afternoon, and the Woodhouse Spa gives another reason to spend time at the mansion. For travellers interested in period interiors, this is a stay shaped as much by the house itself as by the surrounding city.
