PB hotel design editorial

Built in 1886 for cotton merchant Francis Silas Rodgers at a cost of approximately $200,000 — an extraordinary sum at the time — this five-story Second Empire mansion on Wentworth Street in Charleston's Harleston Village stands as one of the most architecturally complete examples of Gilded Age excess in the American South. The Wentworth Mansion's exterior announces its ambitions immediately: red brick trimmed in cream-painted limestone quoins and cornice work, a slate mansard roof punctuated by decorative ironwork cresting, and two tiers of columned verandas that filter the Carolina light before it reaches the interior. The building was converted into a 21-room inn in 1998, and the restoration preserved the original heart-pine floors, hand-carved mahogany woodwork, and Tiffany stained glass that Rodgers had commissioned for the principal rooms. Inside, the approach to the guest rooms keeps faith with the house's Victorian origins without tipping into pastiche. Mahogany sleigh beds and campaign-style chairs sit against walls painted in warm ochre or soft grey, original marble and cast-iron fireplaces anchored by gilded mirrors, Persian rugs laid over wide-plank pine — the ensemble has the settled confidence of a private house rather than a period recreation. The glassed-in veranda, furnished with wicker armchairs and botanical-print Roman shades, serves as the breakfast room, its checkerboard tile floor and hanging pothos giving it the ease of a Lowcountry garden room. The bar, with its coffered ceiling and a substantial stone fireplace surround, brings a more contemporary restraint to bear on the historic shell.

"The Wentworth Mansion is our go-to when visiting Charleston. The rooms and public spaces are stunning, but also comfy (and spotless!). The bar and restaurant are excellent, and the many included amenities are generous and high quality. But it's the delightful staff who really elevate the experience. They are so kind, welcoming, and helpful that you can't help but feel special"

"My husband and I stayed at Wentworth for three nights celebrating our 15th anniversary. Such a beautiful place and the staff was happy to share the history and pointed out all the special details. Location was convenient to walk to the historic area and all the nearby outstanding restaurants. The staff was over the top and so helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed the breakfast included at Circa and the happy hour each night where we would gather with the other guests each night to share our stories of the day. Many special touches they provide throughout or stay, just made it so special. We look forward to returning for another trip in the future. Highly recommend."

"Wentworth Mansion was the perfect place for our honeymoon!! We loved every moment of our experience at the mansion. It is elegant, romantic, charming, and comfortable. The extra touch of daily amenities like coffee and pastries in the parlor with classical music in the background added a touch of class and pleasure to our daily routines. The location is great. We walked the few blocks to King Street and the Market daily with ease. The staff was helpful and friendly -- ready to serve us at any time. We WILL be going back to Wentworth Mansion! And the convenience of Circa 1886 restaurant, along with their delicious food options, is a tremendous bonus!"
