Mid-century Southern salon
Mid-century modern furnishings, warm cherry wood walls, and a brass-accented salon bring a tailored Sixties energy to historic Charleston.
“The wood-paneled lobby gives way to a cozy living room straight out of Mad Men, featuring live music and a brass bar…”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
Practically every surface throughout the lobby, living areas, and guest rooms is made of smooth stone or hard wood … while the furnishings are either vintage or bespoke and hand-crafted.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Facing Marion Square on Meeting Street, the hotel sits a short walk from King Street boutiques, historic churches, and Lowcountry dining.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows illuminate beds dressed in Irish linens, while marble-lined bathrooms pair brass fixtures with deep cast-iron soaking tubs.
The spa
Cypress paneling lines the treatment rooms, where therapists apply Natura Bissé skincare and restorative botanical wraps.
The fitness studio
Peloton bikes and weights sit against wood wainscoting alongside floor-to-ceiling windows looking toward the bridge.
Bar
The Living Room
A curved brass counter anchors the lounge, pouring morning coffee before shifting to classic evening cocktails.
Its cool, lime-washed facade gives way to a sleek, marble-slabbed lobby flanked by warm wooden walls and accented with mid-century modern furniture.
At the table
Up on the eighth floor, Citrus Club mixes citrus-forward drinks with views across the harbor and church spires.
How it began
Commissioned in the 1960s as a federal office building, the hurricane-damaged modernist structure sat abandoned before an eight-year transformation.
“The 155-room Dewberry – named, in fact, after its Atlanta-based real estate magnate owner – channels its Deep South DNA without ever straying into kitsch.”
