"Since The Dewberry opened its doors in the fall of 2016, the fig ivy at its base has diligently advanced upward, clinging tightly to the ground-floor columns. Now the hotel appears to float on a garden. Which is just as founders John and Jaimie Brown Dewberry intended, bringing an unexpected lightness to the limewashed eight-story midcentury monolith. You'll love its JFK–era cool factor: Across the giant slabs of buffed marble, past the warm cherrywood paneling with unlacquered brass inlay, waits the popular Living Room, where guests can sink into a cozy leather high-back. Locals duck into the hushed spa for Natura Bissé facials and fill the outdoor patio for weekend brunch. But the largest draw will always be the rooftop for sunset cocktails, nibbles, and maritime breezes among the citrus and olive trees, with views of Charleston’s harbor. The vibe is elevated and elegant but also fun and not too fussy. In one of America’s most historic cities, The Dewberry manages to pay homage to the past while feeling refreshingly au courant." - CNT Editors
"Housed in a 1960s federal building on Marion Square, this property embraces a sumptuous midcentury-modern aesthetic with a wood-paneled lobby and a Mad Men–style living room that hosts live music and a brass bar serving classic cocktails and deviled eggs with caviar. The second-floor spa pairs tufted-velvet recliners with treatments that incorporate Lowcountry flora, and the 154 light-filled rooms feature Irish linens, marble baths, and custom-printed linen by a local illustrator. A rooftop Citrus Club offers craft cocktails and skyline views, and amenities include a Volvo house car service and a boutique selling jewelry, art, and antiques." - Devorah Lev-Tov
"Don’t judge a book by its cover, or really, don’t judge a hotel by its exterior. While the outside of this hotel is in a historic 1960s government office building, the inside is swanky and chic, with a mid-century flair and grand panels of mahogany blanketing the walls and bar countertops. The hotel’s first-floor bar, The Living Room, has a timelessness about it: Fancy library vibes, sophisticated cocktail riffs, and silver trays usher in some well-dressed crowds. The upstairs bar, proudly eight stories high, is the Citrus Club, offers a brighter, flouncier flair with coral and white decor and an expansive rooftop area featuring 360-degree views. Drinks like the spicy coconut margarita with a hint of vanilla really reflect the finesse for detail at this elegant rooftop bar." - Kayleigh Ruller
