The Dewberry

Elegantly designed, The Dewberry offers guests the perfect retreat from city exploring. Popular with locals for after-work drinks and rooftop cocktails, The Dewberry is a trendy hotspot for locals and tourists alike. With hip 1960s decor, a stylish restaurant and bar area and romantic guestrooms with local artisan ornaments, the hotel suits couples wanting a modern, mid-century hotel from which to explore Charleston.

Guests can begin the morning with an open-air yoga class on the hotel's Rooftop Terrace, before heading to Henrietta's for a delicious breakfast. Bicycles can be hired from the front desk, so guests can make full use of these to explore the city at length. Complete with baskets and maps for suggested routes and scenery, the complimentary bikes are lovely addition to the superb service the hotel already offers.

Ideally situated in the heart of the historic district, The Dewberry has shops and restaurants in its backyard and is great for those wishing to walk around the city. Those hoping to do less walking can head out in the sleek house cars, specifically designed to chauffeur you around Charleston's busy streets. Visit Rainbow Row, head to Waterfront Park or wander around city market before heading back to the lounge for a well-deserved cocktail.
