PB hotel design editorial

For nearly five decades, the building at 334 Meeting Street stood unfinished — a mid-century federal structure begun in the 1960s that Charleston's bureaucratic appetite eventually abandoned, leaving its brick and limestone shell to wait out the years within view of Marion Square. Developer John Dewberry spent the better part of a decade pursuing and converting it into The Dewberry, which opened in 2016 with 155 rooms across eight floors, the exterior's ivy-draped ground level and concrete sphere planters softening what might otherwise feel like a civic relic. The interiors, designed by the New York studio AvroKO in close collaboration with Dewberry himself, channel a specific strain of American mid-century confidence — dark walnut millwork, tiered crystal chandeliers, antique mercury-glass mirrors in gilt frames, and brass hardware throughout. The guest rooms carry the atmosphere of a well-appointed private club: caned occasional chairs, silk-shade pendants, and linen drapery in warm cream filter the considerable light that pours through the hotel's generously proportioned windows toward the harbor and the Lowcountry flatlands beyond. Public spaces on the ground floor deploy herringbone oak flooring, sheer curtain walls, and leather-wheeled dining chairs in arrangements that suggest a prosperous Charlestonian's townhouse rather than a hotel lobby. The rooftop Living Room bar, furnished with rattan seating and coral accent cushions among planted palms and citrus trees, gives a subtropical looseness to the whole enterprise that the building's federal bones alone never could.

"The Dewberry is a bustling, hip hotel with an excellent location in Charleston. An easy walk to King Street or the waterfront. The hotel is very busy and is not especially relaxing in the public areas. My family was there for two nights and we had two rooms - a Signature King and a Signature Queen. The queen room was quite a bit more spacious than the king, despite having two beds. The king was very small - even for a boutique hotel and did not have a closet, just a small armoire. Both rooms were nicely decorated, if maybe a bit dated. My wife had to call for housekeeping immediately as the sheets on the king bed were dirty when we checked in. The housekeeping staff started making up the bed and noticed that the 2nd set of sheets was also dirty... they went off the find a 3rd set which did the trick. The rooftop bar is a big draw and can be hard to access, even for guests. You have to queue up in the lobby, where the concierge grossly exaggerates the waitlist so that you feel an inflated sense of gratitude when you do finally get up there. My wife and I were told there was a list of 30 people ahead of us. We were allowed up with our teenage girls to take a photo - literally escorted by a hotel employee in case we tried to overstay our welcome. We counted 11 open tables of all different sizes, plus many seats at the bar inside. We didn't appreciate being lied to, especially as we were spending thousands of dollars there. The hotel is trying a bit too hard to be trendy, when they should focus on customer service. Note to the hotel - overnight guests should have direct elevator access to the rooftop, and give priority access to overnight guests for reservations. FYI - my wife and I enjoyed a drink outside on the ground floor, with good service and no wait."

"Overpriced hotel with worn rooms - especially the carpeting/ you need to wear slippers in room to keep your feet clean, it’s that bad. The Living Room restaurant is ok, the Citrus Club food and drinks are good but overpriced. Sadly, The Dewberry has gone downhill."

"We have stayed at 5 star hotels in the area w/more amenities & in house service than this one. But the fact that you consider yourself a 5 star luxury hotel & do not 24hr maintenance service is ridiculous."

"Beautiful place. Spa was wonderful. Ambiance was amazing minus a loud fridge that kept me up and didn’t get addressed in the time I was there."
