The Wentworth Mansion is, quite simply, one of the world's finest and most unique inns, and a pristine example of America's Gilded Age. Designed not as a lodging house but as an opulent private residence, it is a place of hand carved marble fireplaces, intricate woodwork, Tiffany stained glass windows and never ending detail. Guests stroll through immaculate surroundings, unchanged since the days of the original owner, and sleep soundly in accommodations over a century old. It is, first and foremost, a residence of unparalleled drama and beauty. Here guests can unwind in the peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by a gracious and hospitable staff.

All rooms have king size beds and whirlpools, and most have working gas fireplaces; several have daybeds or sofa beds. All bedrooms are smoke free. Afternoons welcome guests in the Harleston Lounge, while the Rodgers Library provides the perfect atmosphere for reading and the sun porch offers an elegant spot for breakfast. Set proudly in Historic Downtown Charleston, the Wentworth Mansion is a destination unto itself. Guests will note that old fashioned Southern charm is augmented at this hotel by the very modern amenity of wireless Internet access.
