Wentworth Mansion 
$$$$, Market Area
User Rating: ***** 5.0
Fodor's Review:
Charlestonian Francis Silas Rodgers made his money in cotton, and in 1886 had built this four-story mansion with such luxuries as Austrian crystal chandeliers and hand-carved marble mantles. Guests admire the Second Empire antiques and reproductions, the rich fabrics, and inset wood paneling. In the colder months, the baronial, high-ceiling guest rooms have the velvet drapes drawn and the gas fireplaces lighted. The breakfast buffet and evening wine and cheese are complimentary. Circa 1886, the restaurant shares the former carriage house with a spa.

Bob is the man!

My wife, I, and her parents had the most wonderful experience this past weekend. We love to travel and, until this experience, our favorite accommodations were the club level of the Grove Park inn, then maybe the Ritz Carlton in Maui. We have always loved the Wentworth as well, but the staff there out did themselves more than ever before. Anything we asked for was provided quickly and graciously starting with the bottle of wine waiting for my father- in- law upon our arrival. He only prefers one type of wine and the mansion did not have it in stalk. The innkeeper (Bob) personally went out on the town, found it and had it chilling for him. It simply got better from there. The rooms were always beautiful as we have stayed in about six or seven of them. But it seemed they have actually improved, in terms of upkeep and cleanliness. One would be challenged to even find a piece of dust on the bedroom chandeliers from the 14-16ft ceilings. Simply had the best experience ever. Oh, and let's not forget about "Miss Betty". She is the sweetest person in Charleston! Ask her about Mr. Rogers.RATING: 5.0
